Édgar is one of the few younger players in an ageing Panama squad.
Coach Dario Gomez has found a system well suited to their ageing squad. But he would rely on the creative play of Édgar and fellow midfielder Alberto Quintero to create chances.
Expect Panama to hold their own and even punch above their weight in Russia. They would want to make their first ever World Cup campaign a tournament to remember.
