Néstor Lorenzo continues with the idea of testing players with the Colombian National Team shirt. On Friday, March 24 and Tuesday, March 28, the team will face South Korea and Japan in two friendly matches that are part of the tour of the Asian continent and will serve as preparation for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. This Tuesday, Julián Capera reported that the coach, working together with the Colombian Football Federation, began to notify the footballers’ clubs to separate them on these dates.
According to the journalist, Santiago Moreno and Juan David Mosquera, both playing for MLS’s Portland Timbers, were ‘blocked’ and they would enter the call for the preparation matches.
“Santiago Moreno and Juan David Mosquera, currently in MLS teams, were blocked (shortlisted and notification to their clubs) by the Colombian Football Federation for the friendlies of the Senior Team against South Korea and Japan”, posted Capera on his Twitter account.
Both footballers already had the opportunity to play with the National Team. Juan David Mosquera was the starter and took over the right wing, while Santiago Moreno, with a past in América de Cali, entered in the 68th minute in the 0-0 draw against the United States, a friendly match that was played at the end of the month of January. In addition, the attacker had already played in the victory over Paraguay in December 2022.
