The players set to join Colón for pre-season training | OneFootball

Colón will resume training this Monday at the June 4th Training Ground with a scene that perfectly reflects the club’s current situation: the professional squad returning without any certainties, youth players having worked for a week already, and footballers considering taking legal action over unpaid wages. As November 30th—the date of the elections—approaches, both sporting and managerial concerns are growing.

After starting training with a large group of youth players, Ezequiel Medrán will, for the first time, have the professional group under his command. They are expected to show up with the intention of training, but also with the very real possibility of serving the club with legal notices to claim three months of unpaid wages. The atmosphere is far from ideal for beginning a new stage of preparation.

A Coach on the Edge Depending on the Political Future

Medrán’s name does not have widespread support among the candidates either. Looking ahead to the election that will decide Víctor Godano’s successor, only two lists (those led by Ricardo Luciani and José Alonso) see him as coach for 2026, while the other three options have not yet considered him. The coach is working without guarantees while the club debates its direction.

The Professionals Returning Now

With contracts valid until December 2025: Marcos Díaz, Gonzalo Bettini, Facundo Sánchez, Guillermo Ortiz, Brian Negro, Federico Jourdan, Lautaro Laborié, Nicolás Fernández, Emmanuel Gigliotti, Christian Bernardi, Alex Aranda, Óscar

Nahuel Curcio also rejoins the squad after returning from his loan at San Telmo, with a contract until December 2026.

A return that reflects the club’s current situation The start of training with the full squad does not feel like the beginning of a new era, but rather an attempt to maintain the structure while waiting for the political context to be resolved. The professional squad will return, but they might do so with legal notices in hand. Colón is starting to train. But first, it needs to get its house in order.
