Colombia coach Queiroz: We're worried about James at Real Madrid

Colombia coach Carlos Queiroz admits James Rodriguez's situation at Real Madrid is "worrying"

Queiroz is concerned over the lack of action the midfielder is seeing as Colombia prepare for this year's Copa America.

He admitted: "What I can say is that we, in the Federation, take care of all the players with great attention, with much love. James's case worries us, we know he is in a difficult situation at the moment, it is a situation that technically and professionally is not the best.

"But like other players who are playing less. James's case is very rare, a very rare season for him, but the entire coaching staff and I personally are determined to help all players and in particular to help James, who is in a slightly more complicated situation.

"James's quality, such as Arias or Muriel, is not discussed, so the situation is not easy. That is why I am trying my best to make the players finsih as well as possible. The obligation I have is for everyone to arrive well."
