World Cup: Crystal Palace full-back Daniel Munoz has been ruled out of Colombia's World Cup qualifiers due to an adductor strain, the South American country's football federation said.

The 28-year-old has been replaced in the squad by Andres Roman, who was rewarded for his consistent performances with Colombian side Atletico Nacional, reports Xinhua.

Colombia will meet Bolivia in El Alto at more than 4,100 meters above sea level on Thursday before facing Chile in Barranquilla five days later.
