Bad news comes from Ecuador this morning. Overnight, Ecuador played the last match of a historic 2026 World Cup qualifying group: they beat world champions Argentina 1-0 and finished second in the group, right behind the Albiceleste, recording the best defense of the qualifiers. Only 5 goals conceded in 18 matches, a historic achievement for the South American side, who qualify for the World Cup with strong momentum.
Pervis Estupiñán has been part of this defense in recent months, playing as left-back. But the bad news for Milan is that yesterday Estupiñán was absent. In the days leading up to the match, local media such as DSPORTS Ecuador reported that the Rossoneri full-back was doubtful due to a muscle problem. The issue was not resolved, since Estupiñán was not even on the bench last night. His condition will be assessed in the coming hours upon his return to Italy.
