Colombia national team announces squad for friendly matches against Chile

Colombia coach Néstor Lorenzo has announced a 26-player squad for two upcoming friendly matches against Chile. The first match is scheduled for November 13 at the Pascual Guerrero stadium in Cali, followed by a second encounter on November 17 at the National Stadium in Santiago.

The roster features several newcomers as Lorenzo aims to refresh the squad for future World Cup qualifiers and the 2028 Copa América. Notable debutants include defender Juan David Arizala (Udinese), attacker Daniel Mosquera (Hellas Verona), and winger Camilo Mena (Korona Kielce).

Several key players are absent from the call-up. Luis Díaz is unavailable due to a muscle injury, while Richard Ríos is out with an ankle sprain. Other notable absences include goalkeeper Álvaro Montero and Kevin Castaño, who may be participating in the Copa Sudamericana final, as well as Johan Mojica and Kevin Mier.
