The controversy is on, since James did not appear in the middle of the week in the match against Águia de Marabá.
The Colombian midfielder has also suffered physical discomfort that has kept him away from the main team. However, this Sunday was an absence by decision of coach Luis Zubeldía.

“I am here to make decisions. If James is not here it is because I think other teammates need to be. I understand that a player like him will always be talked about, but I am clear about my profession, my responsibilities. A coach lives to make decisions. We work so that they are in favor of the group and that they are, for the most part, positive,” said Zubeldía.

Sao Paulo’s next match will be this Wednesday, May 8 in the Copa Libertadores, visiting Cobresal. We will have to wait to see if the Colombian enters the coach’s plans.
