Ex-Fluminense, Jhon Arias left out of Colombia squad | OneFootball

Jhon Arias, from Wolverhampton, will not need to leave England on this FIFA Date. The attacking midfielder, who stood out for Colombia while playing for Fluminense, was left out of the list released by coach Néstor Lorenzo for the matches against Mexico and Canada, on October 11 and 14.

Arias is still in the process of adapting in England and admits that he has not yet shown his best football since he left Tricolor, a fact that may have weighed on the Colombian coach's decision. In addition to him, important names from the team such as Jhon Córdoba, Dayro Moreno, Camilo Vargas, Santiago Arias, Marino Hinestroza, and Jorge Carrascal were also not called up, reinforcing the strategy of testing new players.

Meanwhile, striker Kevin Serna, currently in good form at Fluminense, received his first call-up to the main team, showing that the path to the team still goes through good performance on Brazilian soil. Arias' absence generated comments among fans on social media, who remember the important role he had at the Rio club before heading to Europe.

Colombia, already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, faces Mexico at the AT&T Stadium, in Texas, and Canada at the MetLife Stadium, in New York. For Arias, the expectation now is to improve at Wolverhampton and regain space among the country's names.
