Misses out again James Rodriguez was not on the match day roster for Saturday's match at Nashville.

Impact Rodriguez is dealing with a contusion and was not risked in the 3-1 loss to Nashville. In addition to the injury, the Colombian international is still working his way back to match fitness. While he remains questionable to make his MLS debut at Vancouver on Saturday, Minnesota will hope to have the playmaker's services as soon as possible.

Late call to face Nashville Rodriguez is questionable for Saturday's match against Nashville due to a contusion, according to Andy Greder of the Pioneer Press.

Impact Rodriguez is looking to need some testing ahead of Saturday, with the attacker now a late call due to a contusion. This just adds to his woes to start the season, as he has yet to play due to work visa issues. That said, the major question is how much he will be risked if picked for the team sheet, potentially only a bench option.

Impact Rodriguez had his first training session as a Minnesota player Tuesday after joining the team late because he had yet to obtain his work visa. The playmaker is not guaranteed to start right away but will eventually aim to take on a significant role, challenging Joaquin Pereyra for the No. 10 spot and for set pieces. The Colombian could also feature on the wings and should be a source of creative production whenever he's on the field.

Impact Rodriguez got his first training session in with his new squad Tuesday, an encouraging step as he begins to integrate with the group, though there is still some uncertainty surrounding whether his work visa has been finalized in time for Saturday's matchup against Cincy. If the paperwork clears and he's fully available, the Colombian playmaker is projected to carve out a meaningful role in Minnesota's attacking unit. He's also a strong candidate to take over primary set-piece duties, which would immediately boost his influence in the final third.

Still without work visa Rodriguez was not available for the season opener due to not having his work visa, according to EL Colombiano.

Impact Rodriguez is not with Minnesota yet as the season kicks off, with the midfielder still without his work visa. This follows suit to numerous other players in the league, a common issue amongst MLS clubs at the moment. It is undetermined when he will be eligible to play, hopeful he can start integrating into the group next week.

James Rodríguez To MLS: Colombia Star Confirms Minnesota United Move

Signs with Minnesota United Rodriguez has completed a transfer to Minnesota United on a six-month deal until the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Friday. The deal also includes an option until December 2026.

Impact Rodriguez spent the 2025 Apertura with Club Leon in Liga MX, tallying three goals and two assists across 14 appearances (10 starts), but he was never able to be the difference-maker the club expected. Rodriguez might not be the dominant playmaker he was during his prime, but he should be an above-average player at the MLS level if he stays healthy. If he's fit to play in the season opener against Austin FC on Feb. 21, he should be a starter right away.

Joins Rayo Vallecano Rodriguez has completed a transfer to Rayo Vallecano from Sao Paulo, according to his new club.

Impact Rodriguez is heading back to Spain after breaking out in La Liga with Real Madrid some years ago, with the midfielder joining Rayo Vallecano. He is coming off a great run at Copa America, being a key part of Columbia's run after starting in all six appearances while notching one goal and six assists. He will look to bring back some of the form he held years ago when in the top flights of European football, as at the age of 33, his time is running short to reboot his career after once being thought of as one of the best midfielders in the world.
