The Werkself have now exercised their right to recall Puerta who enjoys the confidence of sporting managing director Simon Rolfes: "Gustavo is a key player in the Columbia U20 team. He demonstrated that at the South American Championships at the start of the year and he is also doing that at the U20 World Cup in Argentina," said Rolfes. "We want to see how he does in our squad and what positives he can bring. Gustavo has a very promising future in his position as a number six or number eight."
