Mitroglou, who has hardly played this year after a Greek record 15 million euro ($20.4 million)(12.02 million pounds) move to Fulham but was instrumental in leading his team to the finals, has only recently recovered from a knee injury.
Colombia coach Jose Pekerman picked Teofilo Gutierrez to replace injured forward Radamel Falcao, who will be watching from the stands.
Gutierrez is joined by Victor Ibarbo up front as the South Americans seek to kick off their campaign with a win.
