Striker Jhon Duran: Striker Jhon Duran has been ruled out of Colombia's World Cup qualifier against Argentina due to a back injury, the Colombian football federation said.

The 21-year-old complained of discomfort after the Cafeteros' goalless draw with Peru in Barranquilla on Friday and medical staff later confirmed his unavailability for next Tuesday's duel in Buenos Aires, reports Xinhua.

"Jhon has left the squad due to a recurrence of lower back pain that will prevent him from being fit to face Argentina," the federation said in a statement. The entity did not immediately name a replacement for the Al-Nassr player.
