Copa América Moreno ready to replace the injured midfielder

James Rodriguez is set to miss Colombia's second match in the Copa America after dislocating his left shoulder during the opening game against the United States.

Attacker Dayro Moreno appears ready to replace his captain for their next meeting against Paraguay, but James should be ready to go next Saturday, when the Cafeteros will face Costa Rica.

It is likely that coach Jose Pekerman will not take any chances with James' injury, as it could be problematic if the coaching staff and the player himself try to rush his recovery.

James Rodriguez has had injuries on his left shoulder in the past, like in their opening game against Venezuela in last year's Copa America and in February's Champions League match against Roma, although he stayed on the pitch on that occasion.

Colombia are one of the favourites to win the Copa America title and they earned a comfortable 2-0 win against the United States in the opening game.
