Ecuador international Marco Angulo has died at the age of 22, a month after suffering critical injuries in a car crash, the Ecuadorean football federation has said.
Angulo was involved in a traffic accident on October 7 that also resulted in the death of his former youth team teammate Roberto Cabezas.
Angulo sustained head injuries and a lung contusion and died at a hospital in Quito on Monday night after a week in intensive care.
Angulo had been playing for Ecuadorean league champions LDU Quito since March, on loan from MLS side Cincinnati. Angulo made his senior debut for the South American nation in 2022 and had earned two caps, the second of them in a victory against Australia in Melbourne last year.
He is survived by his wife and young son.Â
