James Rodríguez will return to the Colombian national team, reports in his country

The Colombian team would be preparing a novelty in its squad for the next double date of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers, which was expected by many fans: the return of James Rodríguez. The midfielder is now part of Qatari Al-Rayyan, where he seeks his best physical condition, and would receive the opportunity to defend his country on the FIFA date of November.

As revealed by the journalist Diego Rueda in El VBar de Caracol Radio, during his program this Monday, the Colombian Football Federation sent the reserve letters for all the players who will be considered by coach Reinaldo Rueda and within that list James’s name appears.

In this way, the combined ‘Cafetero’ will have an extra weapon for the creative zone, taking into account the great crisis they are currently going through. Recall that during the triple date of October, the team only obtained goalless draws against Uruguay, Brazil and Ecuador, demonstrating the few ideas they have on offense.

The presence of James Rodríguez could be a key contribution in that sense, taking into account that he is not only characterized by making his teammates play, but also has a goal. The only detail that must improve in these weeks, before the possible confirmation of his call, is his physical condition.

In recent days, he added two games as a starter with Al-Rayyan and although he did not shine much, the most important thing for his interests is that he is having continuity. If the news is consummated by the Colombian team, James could make his great comeback by visiting Brazil and then facing Paraguay, in the company of his people.

What was James Rodríguez’s last game with Colombia?

The last time James Rodríguez defended the Colombian national team was almost a year ago. On November 17, 2020, the midfielder played in the win suffered by the ‘Cafeteros’ at the hands of Ecuador (6-1) for the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. From that moment, he was not officially considered again.
