Quinteros cuts Banguera, Hidalgo for Chile showpiece

Gustavo Quinteros finalised Ecuador's Copa America squad, with goalkeeper Maximo Banguera and midfielder Fernando Hidalgo the most experienced players cut.

Barcelona SC custodian Banguera (27 caps) and Liga de Quito's Hidalgo (13) were among the seven players omitted, as coach Quinteros finalised the list of 23 that will be available for their Group A campaign against hosts Chile, Mexico and Bolivia.

Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia had already been cut due to a left ankle injury, while Emelec's Angel Mena (hamstring) also missed out.
