Amaranto Perea: ‘I think James will arrive well’

James Rodriguez is unfit to play for Sao Paulo at the weekend after overcoming gastroenteritis. Since then, communication has been maintained between club and national team to understand his development and determine whether he can continue to participate in the final two qualifiers of the year. According to Amaranto Perea, The midfielder will continue to be assessed upon his arrival in Barranquilla, but his presence against Brazil and Paraguay was a positive.

Colombia needs to beat Brazil to break their streak of consecutive draws in qualifying. Amaranto Perea and the entire coaching staff are clear about the goals and know that they must have all their players in the best possible condition to develop the tactical concepts that Lorenzo will present. That’s why it’s important that James is able to fully recover in the three days ahead of Thursday’s game against Brazil at the Metropolitan Stadium (7:00 p.m.).

“James is a little uncomfortable but I think he’ll be fine. His club has treated him well and we believe he will end well. There are still a few days left to continue recovering and evaluating it. “The reports we’ve received have been very favorable,” Perea was sentenced.

The midfielder played an important role in the national team’s first four matches, contributing a goal and an assist in the 2-2 draw with Uruguay. For Lorenzo, getting him on the field is key, which is why they will try to use these few days to get him to be 100% on Thursday. If you don’t understand, They will proceed so that he can be available for next Tuesday’s game against Paraguay in Asuncion.
