Bogota, October 8 (HS). Crystal Palace full-back Daniel Munoz has been ruled out of Colombia's World Cup qualifier squad with an adductor strain, the South American country's football federation said on Monday.
Andres Roman has been included in the team in place of the 28-year-old player, who has been rewarded for his consistent performance with the Colombian team Atlético Nacional.
Colombia will face Bolivia in El Alto, more than 4,100 meters above sea level, on Thursday, followed by Chile in Barranquilla five days later.
The Colombia team will prepare for the rarefied air of El Alto by staying in the city of Cochabamba at an altitude of approximately 2,560 meters until match day.
Colombia currently sits second in the 10-team South American zone standings with 16 points from eight qualifiers.
