Colombia have confirmed that Atletico Madrid striker Jackson Martinez will miss his country's World Cup qualifier against Argentina on Tuesday with an ankle injury.
The 29-year-old picked up the problem in Colombia's 1-1 draw with Chile on Thursday and the extent of the damage has now been revealed.
A statement from Colombia read: "After completing the relevant examinations today and assessing the development of forward Jackson Martinez by the medical department of Colombia, it has been determined that the player cannot be considered for the next match on Tuesday, November 17, due to a sprained ankle."
The news is also a blow to Atletico, who could now be without the former Porto striker for the next couple of weeks.
Martinez has netted 10 times in 35 appearances for Colombia.
