Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has admitted that he was “surprised” not to earn a call up into the Colombian international squad for this summer’s Copa America – but insists he wants to finish the season at Rangers in the “best possible way.”
Colombia coach Carlos Queiroz named his provisional 40-man squad for this summer’s finals but, despite naming 11 strikers, opted against calling Morelos up.
“I was surprised they did not call me,”
Morelos said, as quoted by Football Scotland.
“I am calm about it and I am concentrating on Rangers. I’ve had a really good season and I hope to end it in the best possible way.”
Morelos has scored 29 times this season and earned a call into Queiroz’s first squad for two recent friendlies but the four-match ban that has kept him out of action recently hasn’t helped his cause.
With only one game left in the campaign, Morelos will be hoping he gets the nod to start at Rugby Park and grab his 30th goal of the season.
