The Colombia national team is wrapping up its October FIFA window with a third friendly match against Peru. Following a draw against Mexico and a loss to Paraguay, manager Néstor Lorenzo is preparing adjustments for the starting XI.
The primary change will come in goal. Throughout this international break, the coaching staff has evaluated different options, handing starts to Álvaro Montero against Mexico and Aldair Quintana against Paraguay. Now, it is the turn of the third goalkeeper in the squad, Kevin Mier.
Lorenzo had previously indicated his intention to observe all available players during this period.
It might be that I change the goalkeeper, yes. I want to see all three, if possible, so it is very likely that this will be one of the changes. Néstor Lorenzo
For Mier, who plays for Cruz Azul, this represents a new opportunity to impress after his involvement in the 2026 World Cup qualifying process. The clash against Peru serves as another evaluation point for Lorenzo as he continues to assess his squad depth ahead of the next cycle.
