Injured James and Falcao out of Colombia squad for September friendlies

Real Madrid's James Rodriguez and Monaco forward Radamel Falcao have not been included in Colombia's squad for next month's friendlies against Brazil and Venezuela.

Madrid confirmed on Monday that the 28-year-old had suffered a calf injury in his right leg but did not say how much time the midfielder would miss.

James started for the Spanish giants for the first time since May 2017 on Saturday, when Zinedine Zidane's side were held to a 1-1 La Liga draw by Real Valladolid.
