The Colombian National Team begins its way in the Qualifiers on Friday, facing Venezuela. The match will be played at 6:30 pm (Colomba time) and it will be the first opportunity to see the tricolor in 2020.
In the midst of the difficulties generated by the coronavirus, Carlos Queiroz assembled a roster of 25 players with most of the players that he has considered his backbone.
The great absences of the team are David Ospina, who could not travel from Italy; Matheus Uribe and Luis Díaz, who were in contact with a person who tested positive for covid-19 and did not travel as a precaution; William Tesillo, who was not called by technical decision; and Yairo Moreno, who was injured last Friday.
Faced with this situation and in pursuit of the renewal that the coach has tried to do since he began his process in the Colombian National Team, among the 25 players called up for this match against Venezuela and against Chile, which will be on the second date, there are 13 who have never played in Playoffs.
This is the list of rookies in Eliminatory:
Eder Chaux: He has not yet made his debut in the Colombian National Team, but has had several calls.
Álvaro Montero: He has already stopped in the Copa América and two friendly. He seems to be the one chosen to supply Ospina.
Aldair Quintana: He has not yet made his debut in the Colombian National Team, but has had several calls.
Camilo Vargas: He has saved six games with Colombia, but all in friendlies.
Jhon Lucumí: It has three friendly matches and one of the Copa América.
Johan Mojica: He played the World Cup in Russia, but not the Qualifiers. He has also played friendlies.
Gabriel Fuentes: It is his first call to the senior team.
Jorman Campuzano: has played two friendly matches with Colombia
Victor Cantillo: He was summoned once to the National Team, but has not made his debut in the Tricolor.
Jefferson Lerma: He has played 13 friendly matches, four in the World Cup in Russia and two in the America’s Cup.
Steven Alzate: He has only played two friendlies with Colombia.
Jhon Córdoba: is his first call to the senior team
Alfredo Morelos: He has played seven friendly matches and has one goal.
However, few of those players are part of the team that would be thought to be the starter for the Playoffs. Most of the Tricolor players who could start have already played this tough tournament.
Those who have played Playoffs
Setfan Medina, Santiago Arias, Davinson Sanchez, Yerry Mina, Jeison Murillo, Frank Fabra, Wilmar Barrios, Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, James Rodríguez, Luis Fernando Muriel, Falcao García, Duván Zapata.
