James Rodríguez worries the Colombian national team: he has a rib injury

The goal of James Rodríguez is to find his best physical and football level again, which is why he signed for Al-Rayyan of Qatar. The season started well for his interests, since he was gaining ownership, scored and assisted with the team in his first presentations, but last weekend he had a rugged performance: he was sent off and ended up with a rib injury.

The coffee midfielder was having a discreet performance in the duel, however, he collaborated with a goal pass for the discount goal against Al Arabi, which brought excitement to the complementary stage. Unfortunately, he was not controlled when the referee admonished him, for a play in which he seemed to have been fouled, he protested angrily and ended up being sent off.

With this result, Al-Rayyan remains in the sixth box in the standings with 9 units. These points were reaped in two wins, three draws and three losses. On the next date they will be measured against Al-Garafa and the 30-year-old player cannot be taken into account.

Apart from the fact that it will not be available to Laurent Blanc on the next date due to the disciplinary sanction, after undergoing a medical evaluation, Al-Rayyan issued a statement of the results. These showed that the ’10’ suffers from a contusion in the tenth right rib, which will lead him to spend a few days resting.
