Colombia head coach Nestor Lorenzo has named captain James Rodriguez in his squad for upcoming friendlies against Croatia and France after he returned to action in Major League Soccer following his departure from Mexico's Club Leon, Reuters reported.
Rodriguez, 34, joined Minnesota United following a three-month spell on the sidelines after leaving Club Leon and has been building up his fitness ahead of the World Cup, which kicks off on June 11 in North America.
Forwards Luis Diaz of Bayern Munich and Luis Suarez of Sporting Lisbon were also named in the squad, both coming into camp on the back of impressive club campaigns, according to Reuters.
