Ibarra did not want to miss Ecuador vs. Qatar: he wears an impressive bandage on his arm | VIDEO

The 2022 World Cup begins this Sunday and there is a lot of expectation in the opening match: the local Qatar faces Ecuador. The players of both squads do not want to miss the match and Romario Ibarra was the protagonist of a curious scene: he used an impressive bandage on his arm after suffering an injury.

The presence of the 28-year-old attacker within coach Gustavo Alfaro’s scheme is key and caused concern when he dislocated one of his fingers during the friendly against Iraq. Immediately, the doctors did everything possible so that the ownership of the Pachuca footballer, on the first date of the World Cup, is not at risk.

Finally, the doctors decided to splint the affected area and, at the same time, immobilize Romario’s right arm. Precisely, Ibarra took the field with an impressive yellow bandage and, for this reason, he was unable to greet his teammates and rivals on a regular basis. The technical command is confident that the striker’s performance will not be diminished.
