The figures of James Rodríguez
The other historical of the tricolor called for this date is the ten James Rodríguez, who had started a good season with Olympiacos, however, it is rumored that he has an injury that stopped his continuity. Of 20 games he played 1,388 minutes and 5 goals so far this season. After this, he has already completed a month without competing, but it was recently learned that his technical director summoned him again to add minutes, which speaks of a healthy return.
For their part, those summoned with great experience such as Santos Borré and Davinson Sánchez do not have a good present either according to the figures recorded in the current season in their teams. B.orré of 27 games at Eintracht Frankfurt completed 958 minutes on the field and 3 goals, while the defender, Sánchez, has repeatedly become a substitute at English Tottenham, with 19 games and only 678 minutes all season.
