James Rodriguez is currently injured. However, he is all set to return next week and is focussed on staying at Real Madrid and proving his worth to Zinedine Zidane according to reports.
"James Rodriguez does not have a break, he does not have a micro-break. He has an edema, which means that he will not be one month off; he will be 8 or 10 days. Nextweek James will return to training,"
"These days there has been a conversation between James and the Colombian coach, in which he speaks and tells him that he wants to recover in Madrid, that he wants to be one hundred percent in Madrid and that he will not travel. James's goal is to show him to Zidane and the club the commitment he has. He wants to stay, be on top, is convinced that it will be his season, so he does not travel with Colombia,"
