The Ecuadorian left-back has made 19 appearances this season, establishing himself as a regular in the side. Estupiñán operates on the left flank, where he combines defensive duties with occasional forays forward - he has registered one goal across his 19 outings but has yet to register an assist.
A defender by trade, Estupiñán's primary role centres on shielding his backline and managing the left-hand channel. His involvement in the attacking third remains limited, reflected in his zero assists for the campaign. The goal he has scored suggests he does venture into advanced areas, though his output remains modest.
At 19 appearances, Estupiñán has featured regularly enough to suggest he holds a place in the manager's plans. Whether as a starter or regular rotation option, he has been a consistent presence throughout the season. His nationality - Ecuador - adds to the growing contingent of South American players in European football.
