For the second consecutive game John Vasquez was left out of the call in Deportivo Cali. What’s the matter with him?
The author of one of the goals in the final that crowned the Verdiblanco team has not officially played since that day. That much-celebrated goal in Ibagué continues to be the most recent image of Jhon Vásquez on the court for official matches. The other thing he played was a friendly against Boca Juniors de Cali and that is the key to his absence.

“We are working so that Jhon Vásquez arrives stronger”
The phrase is from Rafael Dudamel. He gave it at the press conference prior to the game against Deportes Tolima next Wednesday. It has to do with the discomfort that the player is having in one of his knees. It is not something new. It comes from the previous semester and it is now that he is being given the necessary time for a complete recovery.
Jhon Vásquez played that friendly in mid-January against Boca. That day he got hurt. “It’s fine. He had a blow to his knee that caused a distension of the collateral and that is why today and tomorrow he will do differentiated work as a precaution”, Dudamel confirmed on January 17. A week of that passed and he has still not been given the go-ahead to return to high competition.
For now, the position in the starting 11 will continue to be for Hárold Santiago Mosquera, one of Deportivo Cali’s signings and also one of those with the best performance in the game against Jaguares. With him on the court you have the peace of mind to give Jhon Vásquez time to recover. Surely it will be enabled to return very soon. During the week he was already seen reintegrated into training with the group.
