While several national teams around the world are releasing their list of players to play in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the Colombian national team announced the list of players who will play in the friendly against another country that will not play in the World Cup, Paraguay. The call-up caught the attention of journalists and fans.

Although, after the failure of Reinaldo Rueda, the Colombian Football Federation sought a quick solution, but the call of Néstor Lorenzo still generates many uncertainties thinking about the future of the 'tricolor'. The Argentinian has already made his debut with the national team in two friendly matches, which he ended up winning, but which generated the displeasure of many, after the non-renewal of the call-up.

For the friendly against the Paraguayan national team to be played on 19 November, Néstor Lorenzo called up 21 players, most of whom were part of the previous elimination and most likely will not be enough to be in the 2026 World Cup. The most notable absence was Luis Diaz, who is still recovering from a knee injury and will not be ready until after the World Cup.

Sooner than expected, the Colombians could be seeing their most important figure on the pitch again. The reason is that after the latest news that have been given officially by Liverpool about the health of Luis Diaz, the striker would be close to regaining his fitness reaching the first days of December in full physical condition to play before the end of the year.

Liverpool already misses Diaz

"Liverpool expect Luis Diaz to return earlier than initially expected due to his knee injury. The 25-year-old striker is making good progress in his recovery. Liverpool are confident Diaz will return to training in a few weeks and will be able to play a full role in their mid-season training camp in Dubai during the World Cup," Football Insider's version stated a week ago.
