Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina says that Uruguay will be missing the services of Luis Suarez heavily just as his team have missed striker Radamel Falcao. Colombia’s major presence up front is the Monaco striker, who has had to miss the tournament because of the anterior cruciate ligament injury he suffered a few months ago. He has just returned to training and will not been in good shape to contribute to the team. Hence, Colombia had to go for in experienced players like James Rodriguez.
Falcao Still Suffering From Injury
Since becoming one of the best players in the world, Radamel Falcao has not had the chance to appear in a World Cup tournament. It looks like his wait will have to go on after he was left out of the Colombian squad for the World Cup 2014. Colombia have been sticking with the provisional squad for a long time in the hope that Falcao will return from injury. After having seen their hopes dashed until the final moment, the Colombian coach has decided to leave him out of the 23 man squad.

Falcao Still remains In Doubt For World Cup
Radamel Falcao still remains a major doubt for the World Cup 2014 despite being included in the squad announced by Colombia’s national team manager. The former Atletico Madrid striker is regarded as one of the most lethal in the world. He transferred to Monaco for a transfer fee of £ 50 million – one of the highest right now. Towards the second half of the season, Falcao suffered a serious knee injury that ruled him out for more than six months. Back then, it was considered that the striker will certainly miss the World Cup.

HULK COULD REPLACE RONALDO
Former Brazil manager Dunga has said that Hulk can replace Ronaldo. “Ronaldo was a player like no other, but his place in the national squad is still there,” he told Record. “Therefore, Hulk can become his successor. He is not alone in that race; there are several players who can get there.
“But he has the necessary quality to impose himself in that fight,” continued Dunga, who left Brazil last year after guiding them to the World Cup quarter-finals, and also gave Hulk his first cap.
BERNARD LEAVES CORVALLIS
Former Oregon State running back Yvenson Bernard has left Corvallis to sign with the Alouettes.
Bernard spent the past two seasons with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
“It was a good signing and a smart signing,” said one league executive, according to a report by the Montreal Gazette. “He’s a good player — tough, fast and durable.”
The contract is for one year and an option. Bernard will receive an estimated base salary of $70,000.
CORVALLIS TO SIGN NEW PLAYERS
Corvallis will be seeing the action of new players after the head coach announced the decision to do so. The signees include goalkeeper Matt Bersano (Tempe, Ariz.), goalkeeper Andrew Glaeser (Walla Walla, Wash.), forward Glenn Paden (Lake Forest Park, Wash.), forward/midfielder Mike Reckmeyer (Lincoln, Neb.), forward/midfielder Will Seymore (Soham, England) and forward Khiry Shelton (Leander, Texas), who was selected to the US U-18 Men’s National Soccer Team for training camp in Phoenix, Ariz., on Feb. 12-20.
