The Possible Lineup of Colombia to Face DR Congo in the 2026 FIFA World Cup
The Tricolor is preparing in Guadalajara to face the DR Congo with the starting lineup intact and the return of Jhon Córdoba as a new addition.
Colombia is getting ready
Colombia continues its journey in the FIFA World Cup 2026 with the aim of securing a spot in the Round of 16. After the initial victory against Uzbekistan, Néstor Lorenzo's team maintained their work routine in Guadalajara, using it as a base of operations and a serene environment that reflects the group's confidence. The tranquility of the week translated into good news; there were no injuries or sanctions that altered the preparation, allowing the coach to maintain the structure that worked in the debut.
Córdoba's recovery
One of the highlights is the full recovery of Jhon Córdoba. The forward, who did not play any minutes in the first match due to discomfort in the back of his thigh, is now at 100% and is shaping up as an offensive alternative against the African team. His return expands the attacking options and reinforces the idea of a team with multiple resources to unbalance the game.

Colombia's possible lineup
The Colombian national team could present a 4-2-3-1 lineup: Vargas; Muñoz, Sánchez, Lucumí, Mojica; Lerma, Puerta; Arias, James Rodríguez, Luis Díaz, and Luis Suárez.
