Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos was once again missing from Colombia’s matchday squad as they made it through to the semi-finals of Copa America with a penalty shootout win over Uruguay – and Gers fans on Twitter aren’t happy at El Bufalo’s continuing absence.
Morelos has only managed nine minutes of action in the tournament this summer and it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Rangers star is left out again when they face Argentina in the semi-finals.
Incredibly, Colombia have now failed to win any of their last four games at Copa America yet now sit just 90 minutes away from the final.
A win over Ecuador on the opening round of fixtures was followed by a draw with Venezuelua and, despite defeats by Brazil and Peru, was enough to see Los Cafeteros through to the quarters.
Two penalty saves by Napoli’s David Ospina on the night he overtook Carlos Valderrama as Colombia’s most-capped player saw the Rangers striker and his teammates into the last four.
With Rangers facing a massive run of games to start the season, including Champions League qualifiers and an Old Firm clash with Celtic, the Gers will want Morelos back in Glasgow soon.
After his latest snub at international level, some Rangers fans think the Gers should bring him home.
Here are some of the comments from Rangers fans after Morelos’ Colombia snub:
