Pervis looks like he has more than a calf muscle injury from that photo.
It looks like he’s had an ankle injury which he’s played through for a while. An operation and long recuperation ready for next season.
Maybe explains his dip in form this season.
He’ll be disappointed as he’ll miss playing for Ecuador, but good news for Brighton fans.
I’ve said for some time he looked like he was carrying an injury. It was either that or he’d become rubbish overnight. On balance better that he has been injured and hopefully can come back better. Suspect also true of Fergie (and Dunk).
His injuries have been horrifically mismanaged - a bit like Mitoma.
Estupinan himself confirmed back in March that he had been having problems with his ankle. After he captained Ecuador in their defeat against Italy in New Jersey on March 24 he said:-
I'm struggling, I've had problems with my ankle. I'll try to go back and see what to do to be 100%. I have wanted to be with the national team, to fight for it, but there are no excuses. I try to give my all and I will continue working.
