Ecuadorian Marco Angulo Sadly Passed Away Age 22—-Ecuador midfielder Marco Angulo has died at the age of 22 from injuries sustained in a car crash.

Angulo was in the collision in Ecuador’s capital, Quito, on October 7 and becomes the third person involved to have since died.

The car, a Ford Explorer, reportedly collided with a metal structure on the Autopista General Ruminahui at around 4.30am.

The LDU Quito youngster, who had three Ecuador caps, was rushed to hospital on the night and soon after underwent surgery on his skull and lungs.

But, 35 days later, on the morning of November 12, it was confirmed Angulo had passed away from his injuries.

“With deep pain and sadness, we regret to report the death of our beloved player Marco Angulo,” LDU Quito said in a statement this morning.

“We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. His departure is an irreparable loss that will leave an indelible mark on our hearts. Rest in peace.”

Two fellow footballers have also died from the crash; Independiente Juniors defender Roberto Cabezas Simisterra and Victor Charcopa Nazareno of Cuniburo FC.

Chelsea Handed Major Injury Boost

Chelsea Handed Major Injury Boost as James and Colwill Return—-Chelsea FC have received a timely boost ahead of a crucial run of fixtures, with captain Reece James and defender Levi Colwill both returning to full training.

Colwill, who has been sidelined since pre-season with a serious knee injury, is yet to feature for Chelsea’s first team this season. His absence has been keenly felt in defence, with the club forced to cope without one of its most highly rated young centre-backs.

The 23-year-old is now back in full training as he nears a long-awaited return, although he is expected to build match fitness gradually before being considered for senior selection.

Captain James, meanwhile, has also returned after his own injury setback, offering a significant boost in leadership and quality on the right flank.

With a series of important fixtures approaching, Chelsea will be encouraged by the return of both players as they aim to finish the season strongly.

While neither player may be rushed straight back into action, their availability at this stage of the campaign could prove crucial for the Blues.
