Forwards Luis Díaz of Bayern Munich and Luis Suárez of Sporting Lisbon will lead the Colombian national team in this month's friendlies against Croatia and France. The matches will be played in the United States as part of the preparation for the 2026 World Cup. The forwards head a list of 26 players. The main news in the squad is the return of defender Juan David Cabal from Juventus. He had not been called up to the national team since October 2024 due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, which sidelined him for a year. The list also includes other players that Argentine coach Néstor Lorenzo usually calls up, such as the creative James Rodríguez from Minnesota, midfielder Jhon Arias from Palmeiras, center-back Davinson Sánchez from Galatasaray, and full-back Daniel Muñoz from Crystal Palace.
