Steven Alzate is in the running for a Colombia start.

The Albion midfielder could at least play some part when his country take on Venezuela and Chile.

Head coach Carlos Quieroz has four big decisions to make in his line-up, including in goal.

And one of the midfield berths is among those which looks to be up for grabs.

Queiroz has lost two important men in Mateus Uribe and Yairo Moreno.

Juan Cuadrado has linked up with the squad after some doubts he would be allowed to travel by his club Juventus.

There is a school of thought in Colombia that Queiroz could look to the energy and young legs of Alzate as his style best suits the way the boss wants to play.

Alzate got off to a good start to the Premier League season.

He was below his best in defeat at Goodison Park on Saturday but most Colombian eyes that day were on James Rodriguez and Yerry Mina, who both scored for Everton.
