The Colombian Football Federation (FCF) has issued an official statement to clarify the health status of its captain, James Rodríguez. The midfielder was admitted to a clinic in Minnesota after experiencing a severe case of dehydration, which occurred the day after a friendly match against France. Rodríguez remained under observation and preventive monitoring for 72 hours.
Positive Progress and Non-Sport-Related Causes
The FCF was emphatic in stating that this situation is not connected to physical injuries or his activity on the pitch. It is a condition of non-sport-related origin that, fortunately, is already showing steady improvement. The current medical report indicates positive progress in his recovery process, with a full return to health anticipated.
Coordination for Return to Play
The Colombia national team’s medical staff remains in permanent contact with Minnesota United FC to oversee the midfielder’s eventual return to the pitch. The federation also extended a message of support to the ‘No. 10,’ expressing confidence that he will soon return to his usual rhythm after this medical scare.
