El Sabalero urgently needs to add points in these last rounds to ensure its stay in the category and the coach plans to make several changes from the team that just lost to Defensores de Belgrano in Bajo Núñez.

Expected Returns

Medrán will count on the return of Emmanuel Gigliotti, who has already served his suspension for yellow card accumulation, and of Nicolás Thaller, recovered from a tear. Both are expected to return to the starting eleven.

On the other hand, Lautaro Gaitán, Tomás Gallay, and Christian Bernardi will continue to be absent due to various injuries, significant losses that continue to limit the options of the coaching staff.

Changes in all lines

This Friday's practice will be key to confirm the names, but the coach has already hinted that there could be changes in all sectors of the field:

  • Defense: Facundo Sánchez could occupy the right back instead of Gonzalo Bettini, while Thaller would come in for Gonzalo Soto in the defense.
  • Midfield: We will have to see if Cristian García starts, replacing Oscar Garrido, seeking more balance in the midfield. However, Zahir Yunis should not be ruled out.
  • Forward: Gigliotti's return would not take Facundo Castro out of the team, while Luis "Pulga" Rodríguez could start instead of José Barreto.

A final at the Brigadier

The duel against Estudiantes de Río Cuarto appears as a real final for Colón, which needs to strengthen at home to clear any relegation ghost, even though this Friday it will be attentive to the matches of CADU and Talleres (RE).

With changes, significant returns and the chance to show their best version again, Medrán knows that the margin of error is minimal in this defining stretch, although he has a good margin of points in relation to his rivals for survival.
