James Rodríguez is the big doubt within the Colombian National Team for the 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against Brazil and Paraguay.
Muscle injuries have been the midfielder’s big headache and, it seems, this time his condition is not the best to take on the new challenge with Colombia.

What is known
James had had no problems since arriving in Sao Paulo. The man from Cucuta missed the match against RedBull Bragantino last Wednesday in the Brazilian championship, although the reason for his absence was that he suffered gastrointestinal problems.
The alarms go off today, a few hours after James joins the National Team training camp.
There is talk that coach Dorival Junior will be out for the match against Santos as a visitor: the club confirmed through a statement that the ten has muscle problems in the left adductor and is being monitored by the Sao Paulo medical team .

“Midfielder James Rodríguez, with discomfort in his left adductor, was undergoing treatment at REFFIS Plus, as was striker Alexandre Pato, who suffered trauma to his right foot,” the Sao Paulo statement mentioned on its website. .
For the moment, what is known is that the Colombia coach, Néstor Lorenzo, is analyzing several options and one of them is for the midfielder to travel to Barranquilla to be examined by the medical team.
It must be remembered that Colombia already presented its first loss due to injury, that of Santiago Arias, who was replaced by Yerry Mina.
