Colombian coach José Pekerman said the injury to midfielder Hamas Rodriguez was not as serious. Pekerman hopes that he will return to the team in the last 16th match against England.The South American team will face England in the last match of the knockout stage in Moscow. But last week's 1-0 win against Senegal, there was no confirmation yet about the latest situation of Hames, who lost in the Kaffe disaster.
Pekerman said to the media, We have good news after a medical examination. After the MRI scan, the report showed that his injury was not serious. We still have a whole day in front of us. His game depends on how well he can get into it.
The 26-year-old midfielder, founding a gold boot in 6 goals in 2014, was named as a replacement for Russia's first match. After the 3-0 goal against Poland, he was in the full 90 minutes field. If Hamas does not play in the end, then Pekerman will rely on Sevier Luis Mueller.
