Everton's James Rodriguez has been cut from the Colombia squad due to injury and will miss the Copa America and two World Cup qualifiers in June, the Colombian Football Federation said on Friday.
In the past days, the midfielder underwent medical exams that determined that he is not at the optimum level of competition and so he will not join coach Reinaldo Rueda's squad, a statement said.
The statement did not specify what the problem was, but the Everton player has missed several games this season with a calf injury, including the final two games of the Premier League season which saw him fly back to Colombia early.
