Anxiety in Chile
One of the most worrying factors in the southern team is the absence of Marcelino Nuñez, England’s Norwich attacker, who was injured against the Uruguayans and after a medical check-up it was found that he has a grade two sprain.
Another possible casualty for La Roja is Alexis Sánchez, who was not present against Uruguay due to a health issue. But as revealed by Gazzetta Dello Sport, Sánchez suffers from anemia, so he is also not available for the coffee growers.
On the Colombian side, there is some concern about the health of Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, who was injured in the last match against the Bolivarians. However, he trained with the group without any problems and his inclusion among the starters is a mystery.
