James Rodriguez returns to training with Minnesota United after medical leave

Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez has resumed full training sessions with Minnesota United following a three-day hospitalization. The player had been hospitalized for severe dehydration following a match between Colombia and France on March 29, which Colombia lost 3-1. While some media reports speculated he was suffering from rhabdomyolysis, a condition involving serious muscle tissue damage, the club refuted these claims. Medical examinations confirmed no serious underlying health issues, contrary to rumors regarding life-threatening illnesses. Rodriguez has played only 39 minutes for Minnesota this season due to previous injury concerns. He is expected to integrate into team activities gradually, depending on his ongoing clinical progress. The former Real Madrid player and 2014 World Cup top scorer remains under medical observation as he returns to his routine.
