James Rodríguez has been one of the Colombian footballers who has received the most media attention in recent days. Various rumors have circulated about his absence in his team's last three matches, Olympiacos, despite being a key player in the squad. Apparently, the midfielder was injured and could not play, which has generated concern among his fans. The lack of detailed information about James' injury has further worried Olympiacos fans, who hope the player recovers soon.
The rumors surrounding the number 10 player have intensified due to his past injury problems and the lack of clear information about his current condition, which has led to prolonged absences from the field. As a result, it has been speculated that James could miss Olympiacos' most important match against AEK, the current leader of the Greek league, who is just three points behind James' team.
In response to questions about James Rodríguez's health, the Olympiacos coach recently provided a message that has reassured the fans, stating that the player would be fit for the crucial match against AEK, scheduled for Sunday, March 12th at 12:00 PM Colombian time.
"James has been training alone for three days. He will join the team tomorrow (Monday). Therefore, his participation against AEK is certain. He is a player with two important qualities; firstly, he is very strong, and secondly, his commitment to the team is very high. But now I have a big problem of who to take out to put James in," the coach said.
James Rodríguez and the gesture that moved his fans
While his Olympiacos teammates rested after the previous Sunday's match, James Rodríguez chose to use the club's facilities to train. The team's fans quickly identified him, and a Twitter account from a media close to the club highlighted the player's initiative. James is a former player from renowned teams such as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
"The coach gave the team a day off to unwind before the upcoming derby, but James went to Rentis [club's center] and trained! He wants to be fully prepared for this important game." The tweet reads.
