Alfredo Morelos in Colombia boost as Rangers star earns international call with Copa America looming

Rangers star Alfredo Morelos has been called up to the Colombia squad for two upcoming World Cup 2022 qualifiers.

And the reward for his fine club form comes as a real boost to the striker's Copa America hopes.

Colombia face Peru on June 3 and Argentina on June 8 before their squad for this summer's Copa is named.

The call-up suggests the Ibrox favourite is very much in the frame to be among the chosen few when the tournament kicks off on June 11.

Boss Reinaldo Rueda is set to reveal who will make the final cut in the coming weeks.

Morelos lifted the Premiership trophy at the end of a historic season for Rangers.

The 24-year-old was again a key man for Steven Gerrard, netting 17 goals in 43 appearances.

He has 10 international caps to his name, scoring once in a 1-0 victory over Peru in November 2019.
