Colombia vs Paraguay: Lorenzo tries out new players and looks for a replacement without James or Quintero

Colombia and Paraguay are scheduled to play a friendly match this Friday in the United States. The encounter serves as a preparation phase for both national teams to refine their tactical processes under the leadership of the same coaches who managed them during the 2026 World Cup cycle.

For the Colombian squad, the match provides an opportunity for manager Néstor Lorenzo to test new players. The roster selection notably excludes James Rodríguez and Juan Fernando Quintero, as the team looks to evaluate potential replacements and develop depth within the current lineup.
