Rodr\u00edguez played for Colombia’s national team in an exhibition match against France<\/a> on March 29, when his symptoms of dehydration began. He was hospitalized two days later for continued monitoring and IV fluid therapy. Since his discharge after a three-day hospital stay, Rodr\u00edguez has been recovering at home with continued medical supervision, the team said.<\/p>\n

Minnesota United said its medical staff “can unequivocally state there has been no clinical or laboratory evidence of rhabdomyolysis,” referring to a rare but life-threatening condition in which muscles can disintegrate from overexertion or other causes.<\/p>\n

The Colombian Football Federation issued a statement last week declaring a favorable prognosis for Rodr\u00edguez’s recovery and improvement. Colombia’s first World Cup match is on June 17 against Uzbekistan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rodr\u00edguez became a worldwide star at the 2014 World Cup, when he won the Golden Boot award as the tournament’s leading scorer with six goals in five matches. He joined Real Madrid<\/a> in Spain after that, spending six seasons with the LaLiga powerhouse and also had stays with Bayern Munich<\/a> in Germany’s Bundesliga<\/a> and Everton<\/a> in the English Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since signing with Minnesota United two months ago, Rodr\u00edguez has played in just two of six matches with the club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — Colombia star James Rodr\u00edguez, who was hospitalized last week for severe dehydration, returned to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":453206,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-568973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=568973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568973\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=568973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=568973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=568973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
