The attacking midfielder, who returned to play minutes with the São Paulo team on the last date of the local championship, has suffered a calf injury and unofficial sources assure that he would miss the remainder of the Brasileirão.
According to ESPN Brasil, the Colombian would have severe discomfort in his right calf and tests were carried out in which it was confirmed that he was suffering from a stretch in his calf.

James Rodríguez could be out for up to 10 days and would not play the last three dates of the Brasileirão
In principle, James Rodríguez could be out for about 10 days, a recovery time that does not seem too long. However, in this period of time the last three games of the Brasileirão will be played, so Dorival Júnior will not be able to count on the star, who returned to play last Sunday after three games being out of the squad.
In this event, James played 70 minutes against Cuaibá in which he managed to complete 69 touches of the ball and delivered two key passes, this being the second game in which James has added the most minutes during his time in São Paulo. However, the event ended with a 0-0 draw.
