Former Real Madrid star taken to hospital

The Colombian Football Federation has confirmed that James’ condition has improved, noting that the issue is not related to any muscle injury or his footballing activities.

This situation raises concerns about James Rodríguez’s readiness to participate in the 2026 World Cup.

James currently plays for Minnesota United, but has featured for only 39 minutes this year due to injuries, and his most recent appearance against Croatia prior to the France match fell short of expectations.

Nevertheless, James Rodríguez, the top scorer at the 2014 World Cup, remains a key player in the Colombia squad, which is in the same World Cup group as Portugal, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uzbekistan.
