Against Venezuela, Reinaldo Rueda plans with the Colombia team to use a different starting roster than the one formed in the match against Bolivia. Some changes forced by the absence of players such as Juan Guillermo Cuadrado and Alfredo Morelos, others due to the tactical variants used by the coach.

Juan Guillermo Cuadrado received the second yellow card against Bolivia, so he was dismissed from the Colombia team when he had to pay a penalty date. For his part, Alfredo Morelos failed to recover from the injury to his left muscle, which sent him to the tribune on the last date of the South American Qualifiers.

In the midfield, it would go from having only one recovery wheel, Gustavo Cuellar, who played this role in a great way against Bolivia, to align Matheus Uribe, author of the third goal against the altiplano team, and Wilmar Barrios, a regular starter and one of the few who repeat in the roster in relation to the last meeting in Venezuelan territory.

Possible lineup for the Colombia national team

David Ospina; Daniel Munoz, Carlos Cuesta, William Tesillo, Frank Fabra; Wilmar Barrios, Matheus Uribe; Luis Sinisterra, James Rodriguez, Luis Diaz and Luis Fernando Muriel.

DT: Reinaldo Rueda
