🚨 Change for Colombia: Luis Suárez called up to replace Borré | OneFootball

The Colombia National Team is already working in Barranquilla, ahead of the double date of CONMEBOL Qualifiers that will be played between this week and the next.

The list of called-up players by coach Néstor Lorenzo has suffered last-minute changes due to injuries.

Last weekend, the Colombian Football Federation announced the absence of Jhon Córdoba due to a muscle injury and also announced the call-up of Rafael Santos Borré in his place.

However, the Inter de Porto Alegre striker has also suffered a muscle injury — in the abdomen, according to information given in Brazil — and Lorenzo had to modify his call-up once again.

Thus, Luis Javier Suárez was called up, and the Almería striker returns to the Colombia National Team, after a couple of years of absence.

The 27-year-old center-forward officially debuted in the Colombia National Team in November 2020, in a match against Ecuador for the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers. He then added two more appearances in Qualifiers and another in a friendly match against Saudi Arabia, which was his last appearance in the national team.

Another absence officially confirmed by the FCF was that of Juan Fernando Quintero, who suffered a sprain of the medial collateral ligament of the right knee, after the match between América de Cali and Independiente Medellín for the 2025-I Betplay League quadrangulars.
