‘You look tired, Lucho’ — Colombia coach explains Luis Díaz being left off squad

Munich, Germany - September 10: Colombia coach Néstor Lorenzo has decided to exclude Bayern Munich winger Luis Díaz from the national team's upcoming friendly matches against Mexico, Paraguay, and Peru. The decision came after a conversation between Lorenzo and Díaz, during which the coach noted Díaz appeared tired and in need of rest.

Díaz, who has already played more than 60 games, is currently under significant pressure while adapting to life at Bayern Munich, and the international break offers him a chance to recharge. Lorenzo explained that Díaz would benefit from taking some time off from competitive action and is looking forward to seeing the Colombian player refreshed and ready to showcase his explosive form when he returns.
