Madryn weigh up squad changes for Saturday’s clash with Colón | OneFootball

Deportivo Madryn has entered the final stretch of its preparations with its sights set on the big goal: the start of the Primera Nacional. Next Saturday, the "Aurinegro" will host Colón de Santa Fe in what promises to be a high-voltage debut, and to arrive in optimal condition, Leandro Gracián’s team (or Cristián Díaz, depending on the current process) carried out a demanding football test against Olimpo in Trelew.

In the first match, under intense heat at Huracán’s field, Madryn drew 1-1 against the team from Bahía Blanca. The Chubut side showed an ambitious approach, ideal for what will be the clash against the "Sabalero," opening the scoring with a penalty converted by Mauricio Cuero. Although the pace slowed in the second half and Enzo Coacci equalized for the visitors, the team’s overall performance left encouraging signs. In the second, shorter-format match, "Depo" won 1-0 with a goal from Juan Peinipil, who pounced on a rebound after a penalty to seal the victory and boost the group’s confidence.

The medical report: racing against the clock for Saturday

Looking ahead to the match against Colón, the coaching staff is closely monitoring the infirmary to determine the starting eleven. The main concern is Giacopuzzi, who left the field due to discomfort in his left hamstring. However, not all news is alarming: Nazareno Solís has already logged minutes after overcoming a strain, and Camilo Machado has been medically cleared. On the other hand, key players such as Nicolás Servetto (muscle tear), Gabriel Gudiño (knee sprain), and Luis Silba, who did not take part in the test due to an adductor overload, remain doubtful or ruled out.

VIP guest ahead of the debut

The preparatory day featured a star presence in the stands: Claudio "Turco" García. The legendary former striker was present to support his son, Yamil García, the club’s recent signing from Rampla Juniors. His presence not only elevated the morning of football in the Valley, but also helped lighten the mood before the squad fully focuses on the challenge of next Saturday, when Deportivo Madryn will look to spoil the always-favorite Colón’s debut.
