World Cup 2014: 4 Colombian Strikers That Could Cover For Radamel Falcao

2. Hugo Rodallega

Club: Fulham Age: 28 Caps: 43 International goals: 8 Last Colombia appearance: September 2011 v Jamaica Being behind Dimitar Berbatov and Darren Bent in the pecking order at a Premier League team that only tends to play one up front has not helped Rodallega's career. One day he may look back on leaving Wigan Athletic and regret it. Readers may think the possibility of Rodallega going to the World Cup as Falcao's replacement is remote, but consider this €“ he has been to the last two Copa America tournaments. Rodallega has never been a prolific scorer in England. His record at Wigan isn't even as good as a goal every four games. He has shown some decent form at Fulham this term in cup competitions, however. Rodallega had never netted in the Capital One or FA Cups, but has four goals for his efforts now. What Pekerman would get here is a player that is relatively fresh. Rodallega has almost exclusively been a substitute in the Premier League. What part he has to play as Rene Meulensteen battles relegation remains to be seen. If an experienced squad player is all that is needed to cover for Falcao, then Rodallega fits the bill nicely.
