“Severe dehydration”: James Rodriguez hospitalised after game with France | OneFootball

Colombian footballer James Rodríguez suffered from “severe dehydration” and was admitted to a medical center in Minnesota on Monday, one day after Colombia’s defeat to France, remaining hospitalized for the last 72 hours under observation.

The former FC Porto player, who currently plays for Minnesota United in the United States, has already been discharged and is showing, according to medical reports, “favorable progress and steady improvement,” the Colombian Football Federation (FCF) said in a statement released on Thursday.

In the same statement, the FCF explained that James was kept “under medical observation due to a health issue not related to sport” as he was preparing to return to his club after international duty, and that the “severe dehydration required hospitalization” for 72 hours “for preventive monitoring and recovery.”

“It is important to clarify that this situation is not related to musculoskeletal injuries or to the development of his football activities,” the FCF further clarified.
