Alfredo Morelos returned to Scotland, but is doubt due to injury for the classic against Celtic

Alfredo Morelos was removed from the Colombian national team prior to the match against the Venezuelan national team due to an injury to the thigh of his left leg. This forced the striker to return early to Scotland to recover and prepare for the match against Rangers FC's classic rival Celtic.

The Colombian could miss this important match of the Scottish tournament for the second time in a row, after not being present in the match that took place in February and ended in a 3-0 defeat. That time his absence was also due to the call of Reinaldo Rueda to the Colombia national team for the matches against Peru and Argentina.

From Scotland they point out that the managers and coaching staff of Rangers are upset with the Colombian Football Federation for forcing the player to make an extensive trip to the city of Barranquilla, despite having knowledge of the slack in the player's thigh after the match against Dundee.

Barry Ferguson, legend of Rangers FC, spoke in the preview of the match and made special reference to the importance of the Colombian player in the squad led by Dutchman Giovanni Van Bronckhorst:

The classic will be played next Sunday, April 3 at 6:00 a.m. This Scottish derby is important due to the position in the standings where Celtic leads with three points ahead of Rangers. Barry made an analysis of the new stage of Morelos under the orders of the Dutchman where he is seen in better shape and being definitive in favor of the team:

Alfredo Morelos is currently the scorer of his team with 12 goals, one less than the leader in this ranking, Regan Charles of the Cross Country. In addition, he is one of the most assisting players in the tournament, with seven. The leader in this list is teammate James Tavernier with 11.
