The news coming from Brazil about the physical condition of James Rodríguez is concerning, as the midfielder adds a new injury to his sporting career. The 32-year-old Colombian only spent 20 minutes in the team’s training session this Monday before leaving due to discomfort. This injury will force him to miss a high-level match in the Brasileirao.
According to Globo Esporte, studies revealed a grade one muscle problem in one of James Rodríguez’s thighs, sidelining him for 8 to 10 days. This new injury adds to a history of muscle issues that have plagued him throughout his career.
Since returning to the field two months ago, James has played in various competitions for Sao Paulo, including the Brasileirao and Copa Libertadores. However, his recent injury will cause him to miss upcoming matches, including the game against Flamengo and Atlético Goianiense.
Coach Thiago Carpini expressed concern over the emotional toll these injuries have taken on James, which may have contributed to his desire to leave Brazil. The team will eagerly await his return for the Sao Paulo classic against Palmeiras at the end of the month, hoping for a swift recovery for their key midfielder.
