The players set to join Colón's pre-season squad | OneFootball

Colón will resume training this Monday at the June 4 Complex with a scene that perfectly reflects the current institutional moment: the professional squad returning without certainties, youth players having been working for a week, and players considering taking legal action due to unpaid salaries. As November 30, the election date, approaches, the sporting and managerial anxiety grows.

After starting work with a broad base of youth players, Ezequiel Medrán will have the professional group under his command for the first time, who are expected to show up with the intention of training, but also with the concrete possibility of serving the club with legal notices to collect the three months of unpaid wages. The atmosphere is far from ideal for starting a new preparation phase.

A Coach on the Tightrope Depending on the Political Future

The name of Medrán does not find widespread support among the candidates either. Looking ahead to the election that will determine the successor of Víctor Godano, only two lists (those led by Ricardo Luciani and José Alonso) project him as the coach for 2026, while the other three alternatives do not yet consider him. The coach works 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 joins, returning from his loan at San Telmo, with a contract until December 2026.

A Return That Reflects the Institutional Moment The start of work with the complete squad is not experienced as the beginning of a new phase, but as an attempt to maintain the structure while waiting for the political context to be defined. The professional squad will return, but it might do so with legal notices in hand. Colón begins training. But first, it needs to get its house in order.
