Barranquilla (Colombia) (EFE).- The Colombian soccer team is giving the final touches to prepare the team it will face Ecuador tomorrow in Barranquilla on date 12 of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
In addition to the need to return to the path of victory to remain at the top of the classification table, those led by the Argentine, Néstor Lorenzo, have the doubt of James Rodríguez, still with the physical discomfort that led him to the bench in the match against Uruguay last Friday.

The Colombian coaching staff will wait until the last moment for James, the creative midfielder at the service of Rayo Vallecano, to recover, since he is a fundamental piece in the performance that the Colombian team has had throughout the qualifying rounds and the most recent America’s Cup.
Another concern is that ten of the players who are part of the roster have a yellow card and if they are cautioned again against Ecuador they will not be able to be part of the “coffee” squad against the Brazilian team on matchday 13 of the qualifying rounds that It will be played in March 2025. The conditioned Colombian soccer players are goalkeeper Camilo Vargas; defenders Daniel Muñoz, Johan Mojica and Carlos Cuesta; the midfielders Juan Fernando Quintero, Jhon Arias, Kevin Castaño and Jorge Carrascal, and the forwards John Jader Durán and Luis Díaz.
Ecuador, which has just beaten Bolivia 4-0 in Quito, will arrive in Barranquilla this Monday night on a charter flight from Guayaquil.
