Colombia toppled the U.S. Men’s National Team on Friday, but Los Cafateros enter their second Copa America match with a notable absence.

James Rodriguez is reportedly set to miss out of Tuesday’s match against Paraguay after suffering a shoulder injury against the USMNT on Friday night. The Colombian star scored a goal in Colombia’s 2-0 win, cashing in from the penalty spot just before halftime.

According to Marca, Colombia expects Rodriguez to be ready to go for the team’s third and final group stage match on Saturday against Costa Rica.

Rodriguez has had a history of shoulder injuries. The Real Madrid star suffered a similar injury at last year’s Copa America before experiencing yet another blow to his shoulder in the Champions League.

How will Colombia fare without Rodriguez? Still expect Colombia to top Paraguay?
