New opportunity for Cuesta, Gómez and Puerta in Colombia

Three returns in Colombia National Team for the FIFA date of November 2025. Carlos Cuesta, Carlos Gomez and Gustavo Puerta on the list to face New Zealand and Australia in the USA.

A defender, a midfielder and an attacker stand out among the new features of coach Néstor Lorenzo in his last call-up of the year. It is time for more tests to outline the team that will play in the next World Cup and he cited three acquaintances from his cycle.

He called Door for the third time. Present in the friendlies against Romania and Spain in 2024 and last June in the Qualifiers, he doesn’t have minutes yet. For this campaign he moved to Racing de Santander from Spanish promotion with whom he played eight games and scored a goal.

The 22-year-old midfielder is an alternative in the position of Richard Ríos and Kevin Castaño, without the expected performance in his clubs.

Two from Vasco da Gama

The change of team for Cuesta and Gómez favored their return to the National Team. They have more continuity in Brazil with the Rio team.

The center back has nine games and one goal in the local league. He recovered the level he lost during his brief stay in Türkiye. He returned to the tricolor after seven months.

Gómez is his partner in Vasco. He played 12 games, without a goal, but with four assists in the Brasileirao. He came back after a year. Scored in last-minute loss against Uruguay in Montevideo in the qualifying round.

He joins an area in which competition is high with Luis Díaz, Johan Carbonero and Yáser Asprilla.
