The Colombian national football team is managing several player injuries ahead of upcoming international friendly matches against Chile. Head coach Néstor Lorenzo is dealing with the absences of Luis Díaz, who is rehabilitating a muscular issue, and Richard Ríos, who is sidelined with an ankle sprain. Other players facing availability concerns include Juan Camilo ‘Cucho’ Hernández, who is recovering from a soleus muscle injury, and Carlos Andrés Gómez, who has dealt with foot issues. Additionally, Johan Mojica and Kevin Mier are noted as absences from the current squad selection. The team is preparing for two FIFA international friendly matches: the first on November 13 at the Pascual Guerrero stadium in Cali, and the second on November 17 at the National Stadium in Santiago, Chile. These matches are part of a strategic plan for the 2030 World Cup qualifiers and the 2028 Copa América. Coach Lorenzo has announced a 26-player squad for these matches. The roster includes newcomers Camilo Mena from Korona Kielce, Daniel Mosquera from Hellas Verona, and defender Juan David Arizala from Udinese. Davinson Sánchez of Galatasaray will serve as captain. Notable omissions from the squad include goalkeeper Álvaro Montero and midfielder Kevin Castaño, reportedly due to their involvement in the Copa Sudamericana final. Returning players include Camilo Vargas, Devis Vásquez, and Nelson Deossa. As the team began its training camp in Cali, the roster underwent a modification: Óscar Cortés from Huracán has replaced Jaminton Campaz due to an injury. Other players joining the camp include Jhon Solís. Meanwhile, Athletico-PR striker Kevin Viveros was not included in the call-up and will miss club matches due to an automatic suspension.
