Enner Valencia wants to play against Senegal

Ecuador are keeping an eye on Enner Valencia's knee. He is a key player at the World Cup in Qatar and he was the scorer of the three goals that have left 'La Tri' on the brink of qualifying for the round of 16.

The Fenerbahce player was forced to leave the field for the second match in a row. His presence is uncertain in the next clash against Senegal.

A few days ago, just after the opening match against Qatar, the team doctor Camilo Chiquito revealed that Valencia had a sprain.

The player was optimistic after the clash against the Netherlands: "If it has allowed me to play this match, I hope that the next one will be much better," Valencia said.

Valencia has scored the last six goals netted by Ecuador at World Cups. A draw against Senegal guarantees them a place in the round of 16 and Valencia's presence could be crucial.
