The Colombian National Team held its last training session in Guarne, Antioquia, where Atlético Nacional has its sports headquarters and a site chosen by the coaching staff to prepare the team physically and tactically, thinking regarding the duel in Quito once morest Ecuador.
For this difficult challenge in a land where Colombia was beaten 6-1 the last time, coach Néstor Lorenzo aims to have modifications with respect to the eleven that took to the Metropolitan field to face Uruguay. Some of these changes will be mandatory due to injury or suspension, the latter in the case of Camilo Vargas, while others may be due to a technical decision.
The fixed casualties will be that of Camilo Vargas, who will be replaced by Álvaro Montero and that of Santiago Arias, who ended up with an injury once morest Uruguay and was then called off to begin his recovery process. The coach, in a press conference, clarified that what happened to the Cincinnati side was a “tear.”
The replacement of Santiago Arias
It is one of the doubts in the defensive zone, since the person in charge of entering for Arias at the end of the game in Barranquilla was Yerson Mosquera, who usually plays as a center back. However, on the bench was Juan David Mosquera, 21 years old, a pure right back who already added minutes in the Lorenzo era, in the friendly once morest the United States played on January 28.
For his part, Frank Fabra would not be in the game, at least as a starter, and at left back would be Deiver Machado, who would return to the team following not having played a single minute once morest Uruguay. The reason had to do with the fact that the Lens player from France is warned with yellow and if he had been reprimanded, he would miss the game once morest Ecuador. Lorenzo needs him for this game, as he will be much more physical at altitude.
Finally, the uncertainty goes to James Rodríguez, who was the best of the game once morest the Charrúas, scoring a goal, distributing an assist and shouldering the team in all aspects in front of his people. The Sao Paulo midfielder finished the game with a muscular overload and has not trained at the same level as his other teammates in full. If he does not start from the ‘let’s go’, Jorge Carrascal would enter in his place. If his inclusion is confirmed, the Dinamo Moscow footballer would play as an interior in the midfielder’s zone and Jhon Arias would take charge of the right wing.
Possible 11 starter for Néstor Lorenzo
4-3-3: Álvaro Montero; Juan David Mosquera (Yerson Mosquera), Carlos Cuesta, Davinson Sánchez, Deiver Machado; Wilmar Barrios, Matheus Uribe, Jorge Carrascal (James Rodríguez); Jhon Arias, Luis Díaz and Rafael Santos Borré. DT: Néstor Lorenzo.
