Campana, 25, was set to join head coach Sebastián Beccacece’s side for a pair of international friendly matches versus Morocco (Friday, March 27) & Netherlands (Tuesday, March 31).
The young forward who had missed the two previous games due to a “lower body” injury returned to action off the bench on Saturday versus St. Louis City SC.
He entered the match in the 59th minute but was replaced due to injury in the 78th minute.

On Sunday, March 22nd, Ecuador released an official statement detailing Campana’s withdrawal from the squad.
“The Ecuadorian Football Federation reports that, during a match played with his club, player Leonardo Campana suffered a hamstring injury. Consequently, he has been withdrawn from the squad for this FIFA international window.”
