Watch: Valencia's medical cart outruns police amid unpaid child support claims
Enner Valencia appears to be as elusive to the law as he is to Premier League scoresheets.
The forward played a starring role in Ecuador's comprehensive 3-0 defeat of Chile in Thursday's 2018 World Cup qualifiers, but was forced off on 82 minutes with what appeared to be a hamstring issue. Despite his supposed ailment, police seemed to be in pursuit of the Everton loanee in the wake of news that he could owe $17,000 in child support.
"If they say this man earns so much, why doesn't he pay (the maintenance due) monthly to his daughter," Paul Marin, a lawyer of the mother to Valencia's child, is quoted as saying in the Liverpool Echo.
Valencia, whose parent club is West Ham United, hasn't resided in his native Ecuador since leaving Club Sport Emelec for Mexico's Pachuca in 2013.
