Colombia: three absences in the call for Copa América

A total list of 28 players was published by the Colombian Football Federation for the friendly matches before the Copa América and as is known, the list of 26 footballers who will be in the continental tournament.

Néstor Lorenzo chose what he believes are his best chips, but without a doubt, they were left out. several footballers who were being called or who are being protagonists in their respective teams.

Well, one of the players we are talking about is Kevin Mier, who, although he has not had the opportunity to be called up the last few times, is a finalist in the Liga MX and his great moment led him to sign precisely for Cruz Azul, where he immediately won the title.

On the other hand, the forward appears Mateo Cassiera, goalscorer in Russia, who was not taken into account for this opportunity and that, without a doubt, leaves a great unknown.

And last but not least, it is necessary to talk about Cristian Borja, who was a starter in the previous games and is one of the sides with the best presence, but it seems that he was not among the ‘tricolor’ coach’s plans.

Now the only thing left to know is whether there will be changes to the squad between now and the start of the Copa América.
