Colombia coach Jose Pekerman said star midfielder James Rodriguez does not have a serious injury and hopes he will be fit to face England in the last 16 of the World Cup.
The South American side take on England here tomorrow, but the status of James is unclear after he hurt his calf during the 1-0 win over Senegal last week.
"We had good news after his medical tests. After his MRI (scan) we knew that he doesn't have a serious injury," Pekerman told reporters today.
"We still have one-and-a-half days to see how he feels, and as always we hope that he will be able to play in the following games."
