Position: Defender
Born: 30.12.81
Club: Alajuelense

A one-club man, Michael Rodriguez has won three league titles with Alajuelense despite being just 25.

The defender has been given as much time as possible to recover from a knee injury in time to play at the World Cup but even if he is fit, Rodriguez isn't guaranteed a place in the starting line-up.

A strong and reliable defender, Rodriguez is one of five Alajuelense players selected in the Costa Rica squad.
