The video of Alan Pulido circulating on social media (Twitter).
It is confirmed and news has resonated throughout Colombia. James Rodríguez did not travel with the Bayern Munich team to face Leipzig on Wednesday, the revelation team of Europe, in a match valid for the German Cup. The midfielder was going to start in Jupp Heynckes' scheme in an attempt to get playing time and gain confidence in the Bavarian system. However, the former Madrid player is suffering from an undisclosed injury.
James reportedly has back spasms, although this information has not been confirmed by German media. The midfielder was going to play from the start for the first time with the coach who has won everything with Bayern Munich. And now, confirmed as out, he will have to wait for another opportunity and find out exactly what he has.
This happens at the moment when the Colombian was going to be considered to replace the German Thomas Müller, who suffered an injury and will be out for three weeks, in fact the same coach Heynckes confirmed that James Rodríguez was one of the first options to replace him. Now we just have to wait and hope it is not something serious for him.
It is expected that in the coming hours the club's official medical report will be known, where they will determine how long the Colombian player will be out. James is important for the Colombian National Team, so he should have more minutes in the German team, especially since he came to Germany to enjoy a starting role that he does not have to date.
