QUITO, June 1 (Reuters) - Ecuador named two players still recovering from injury in their Copa America squad after losing three key men, including World Cup captain Antonio Valencia.
Coach Gustavo Quinteros included midfielders Michael Arroyo and Renato Ibarra despite their muscle problems after also losing Angel Mena and striker Felipe Caicedo for the tournament in Chile starting on June 11.
Manchester United's Valencia had surgery last week on his left ankle, which he broke and had reset in 2010, to remove pins that were bothering him.
Quinteros said the losses were serious given Valencia's experience and attacking skills and Mena's defensive strengths.
