Minnesota United Says No Evidence of Rhabdomyolysis for James Rodríguez as Supervised Return Begins

The clarified diagnosis steers attention to a monitored return ahead of Colombia's World Cup.

Overview

  • Rodríguez reported to Minnesota United’s facility for a supervised return-to-activity session on Monday, starting a phased comeback under team doctors.
  • Minnesota said its medical staff found no clinical or laboratory evidence of rhabdomyolysis and urged media and fans to avoid speculation, promising updates through official channels.
  • His illness followed Colombia’s March 29 friendly against France, with a March 31 hospital admission for IV fluids, roughly 72 hours of observation, and discharge to recover at home.
  • The Colombian federation described the episode as a non-sports-related medical condition and issued a favorable prognosis for his recovery.
  • The 2014 World Cup Golden Boot winner has played only about 39 minutes for Minnesota since signing in February, so a careful reintegration could influence his readiness for June’s tournament.
