James Rodríguez was admitted to hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with severe dehydration following Colombia’s friendly with France, the Colombian Football Federation announced on Thursday.
The 34-year-old did not show symptoms until returning to Minnesota, but hadn’t played more than 26 minutes in any kind of match since a Nov. 19 international friendly between Colombia and Australia. For Minnesota United, whom Rodríguez joined on a contract running until at least the 2026 World Cup, he has made two appearances comprising of just 13 minutes and 26 minutes each.
