The Colombians spent less than 30 minutes on the pitch before being forced indoors. They completed their training session in the gym, according to the Associated Press. The DR Congo squad had trained earlier in the day in the USA and only arrived in Guadalajara later.

This will be the second Group K match for both teams. Colombia defeated Uzbekistan 3-1 in their opening fixture, while DR Congo earned a point after a 1-1 draw with Portugal.
