Colombia's Rodriguez latest Copa casualty

The Copa America Centenario is facing a mounting injury crisis involving its biggest stars after James Rodriguez joined Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez among the ranks of the walking wounded.

After just two days, the 16-team competition being billed as a gathering of world soccer's biggest names has been hit by a series of injuries and withdrawals.

Argentina captain Messi is the biggest name hampered by injury, with the Barcelona superstar struggling to shake off a back problem sustained during a friendly win over Honduras last month.
