Big blow for San Lorenzo: Jhohan Romaña ruled out for Huracán clash

San Lorenzo received discouraging news at the start of the week leading up to the match against their historic rival. It was confirmed that Colombian defender Jhohan Romaña suffered a tear during the 1-0 victory over Central Córdoba of Santiago del Estero, which will keep him out of the fourth round of the 2026 Apertura Tournament.

The key player in the blue and red defense raised alarms last Saturday after finishing the first half with visible signs of pain in his left leg. Although coach Damián Ayude chose to replace him preventively for the second half, subsequent medical tests confirmed the muscle injury that will prevent him from being present on Sunday at the "Palacio" Ducó.

Ayude's puzzle for the defense

Despite the team being on the rise after securing two consecutive victories — the latest with a goal from Gregorio Rodríguez — the absence of the Antioquian forces the coaching staff to make emergency adjustments in the back line:

The internal option: During the second half against the "Ferroviario," Ezequiel Herrera left the flank to occupy the central defense, leaving the right wing in the hands of Fabricio López.
The possible debut: Another alternative gaining strength is the debut of Guzmán Corujo. The Uruguayan reinforcement was not among those called up for the last match as he was in the physical preparation stage, but the urgency of the classic could accelerate his entry into the starting eleven.

With this scenario, San Lorenzo will seek a victory against the "Globo" to consolidate their good start in the first phase of the tournament, although they will have to do so without one of their most important defensive pillars.
