Colombia coach Néstor Lorenzo opts not to call up Luis Díaz for friendlies

Colombia's coach Néstor Lorenzo has decided to leave Bayern Munich's Luis Díaz off the squad for upcoming friendlies against Mexico, Paraguay, and Peru. This decision follows a conversation between Lorenzo and Díaz, during which it was noted that Díaz appeared fatigued and in need of a break after a busy start to the season. The Colombian will now focus on rest and fitness at Bayern Munich instead of participating in the international matches. The hope is that this time off will help Díaz regain his form as he continues adapting to the Bundesliga.
