Colombian players Andrés Gómez and Jorge Carrascal unavailable for national team

Colombian international players Andrés Gómez and Jorge Carrascal will not participate in Colombia's upcoming friendly matches against Chile in November.

Reports indicate that Jorge Carrascal, currently playing for Flamengo, personally requested to be excluded from the national team call-up to focus on the final stages of the Brazilian championship. This decision allows him to avoid long-distance travel and manage physical concerns, specifically a preventive measure regarding an adductor strain.

Similarly, Andrés Gómez will be unavailable for the Colombian national team, which will face Chile on November 13 and 17. His absence allows his club, Vasco, to utilize him for a rescheduled Brazilian championship match against Chapecoense on November 14.

Additionally, Puma Rodríguez was not included in the Uruguayan national team squad for their upcoming fixtures against Argentina and the Dominican Republic, meaning he will also remain available for his club during the FIFA international window.
