THE FUSE

Ecuador head coach Sebastian Beccacece is also feeling the impact of Hincapie’s departure as he looks to fine-tune his squad ahead of the World Cup. The Argentine tactician was forced to conduct the final session in Madrid without several first-team regulars, who remained off the grass at Butarque while the rest of the group prepared for their friendly with the Netherlands. Besides Hincapie, Ecuadorian FA also revealed that Denil Castillo has been sent home.
