Colombia World Cup Squad
The speculation regarding Monaco and Colombia star striker Radamel Falcao's participation in the World Cup ended when he was left out of the national squad for the World Cup. He was considered to be a touch and go scenario but Falcao lost the race against time to be fit for the tourney
Coach Jose Pekerman dropped the striker along with Edwin Valencia, who also failed to recover from a persistent muscle injury. Defender Luis Ameranto and forward Luis Fernando Muriel are the others who lost their place while Aquivaldo Mosquera, Elkin Soto, Macnelly Torres already lost their place along with Valencia in an earlier purge
Colombia now needs to depend much on James Rodriguez, Jackson Martinez and Teofilo Gutierrez to take on the mantle

David Ospina (Nice), Faryd Mondragon (Deportivo Cali), Camilo Vargas (Independiente Santa Fe)

Injury Update - Radamel Falcao Dropped
Radamel Falcao will not be going to Brazil as part of the Colombia Squad as he failed to recover from the Anterior Cruciate Ligament tear he suffered in January. The Monaco star striker was crucial to the nation's World Cup fortunes but the extent of his injury and the recovery process left him no time to get back to match fitness
Colombia Provisional Squad Trimmed
Although he's patient to wait for Falcao to recover from his ligament tear till the last minute before he announced his final roster, Jose Pekerman decided otherwise with regards to the other members of the squad. The Colombia head coach decided to purge unwanted players from his provisional squad including the injury dogged midfielder Edwin Valencia
The other players to miss the cut are defender Aquivaldo Mosquera. midfielders Elkin Soto and Macnelly Torres
Colombia provisional squad is effectively trimmed to 26 members after the exclusions
