Medrán settles Colón's XI with one doubt for trip to Acassuso | OneFootball

Colón is fine-tuning the final details for a match that could mark a turning point in the season this Saturday when, starting at 3 p.m., they visit Acassuso for the 23rd round of Primera Nacional’s Zone A, with the obligation to return to winning ways and end their negative streak.

In a context of maximum pressure, Ezequiel Medrán led another training session at the club’s facility and began shaping the team that will seek to bounce back. The coach knows his future is also on the line, after the defeat against Chaco For Ever put his tenure under the scrutiny of the club’s leadership.

With that outlook, the manager is preparing a major overhaul. Some changes already appear to be practically confirmed, while only one question remains to be resolved before the trip. In defense, Pier Barrios will return to take the place of Sebastián Olmedo, while in midfield Matías Muñoz will replace Darío Sarmiento. In attack, Ignacio Lago will return in place of Franco García, and Leandro Garate will come in for Alan Bonansea, who has been ruled out through injury.

The only doubt is on the left side of the defense. Although Leandro Allende is available to return after serving his suspension, Facundo Castet has a strong chance of keeping his spot and, in fact, currently has the edge in the coaching staff’s considerations. That would mean Gabriel Risso Patrón would once again lose out in the battle for that position.

Colón’s possible starting 11

Matías Budiño; Mauro Peinipil, Pier Barrios, Federico Rasmussen and Facundo Castet or Leandro Allende; Federico Lértora and Matías Muñoz; Julián Marcioni, Ignacio Antonio and Ignacio Lago; and Leandro Garate.
