Jhon Cordoba
39-Year-Old
FC Krasnodar
Russian Premier
Will miss rest of World Cup
Cordoba was diagnosed with a hamstring strain that will keep him sidelined for around four weeks, thus ending his participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to Pipe Sierra of Diario AS.
ANALYSIS
Cordoba was subbed off early in the first half during the Round of 32 win over Ghana on Friday, and further tests confirmed the worst possible outcome for the striker. That means Luis Suarez will lead the line for Los Cafeteros in the upcoming matches, while Cucho Hernandez will be the lone backup striker available on the squad.
