Valverde, who had already been called up by the Uruguayan national team to face Colombia in Barranquilla, was injured with Real Madrid, in the defeat of the ‘merengue’ team against Valencia.

The Madrid team confirmed that the midfielder, who won James Rodríguez’s spot in that team, suffered “A cleft in the posterior tibial spine of the right leg”, injury that left him out of court, at least one month, AS indicated.

According to the sports newspaper Valverde will have to rest completely until the bone is perfectly welded, to get back to training. Even if the crack turns out to be deeper than you think, the Uruguayan could last 2 months in recovery.

Thus, the Real Madrid midfielder, who starts with Uruguay, will not be able to travel with his team, led by Óscar Washington Tabárez, who is already in Barranquilla with his coaching staff.

Similarly, Uruguayan Valencia striker Maxi Gómez also left the game with unease and did not join his country’s concentration, EFE reported.

Although Gómez is not a regular in the national team, it is another defeat for the Washington Tabárez coaches who, after facing the Colombian national team, will face Brazil (on 18 November).

The ‘tricolor’, for its part, will not have striker and captain Radamel Falcao García, who suffered a muscle discomfort in a Galatasaray training session, 2 days after the call was announced.

For this reason the “Tigre” was not included in the list presented by the coach Carlos Queiroz.

After receiving Uruguay, the Colombian national team will travel to Quito to face Ecuador, for the fourth round of the South American qualifiers.
