In camp, Arias will join familiar faces for Palmeiras supporters, with Mina and Richard Ríos also in the Colombia set-up after notable spells at the club.

Arias has the World Cup as a primary target. That aim was among the reasons behind his move to Palmeiras, to be nearer the national team and perform at a high level.

Wearing number 11, he has played eight games and scored one goal for Palmeiras. The goal came against Botafogo at Allianz Parque on Wednesday 18 March, a 2-1 win for Palmeiras.
