Colón get key men back for Lomas: who returns, who misses Los Andes | OneFootball

After the 0-0 draw at Brigadier López that left him as Deportivo Morón’s closest pursuer, Ezequiel Medrán’s Colón is beginning to focus on a demanding challenge. The visit to Los Andes will not be just another match: they will face a direct rival on the rise, coming off a 2-0 win away to San Miguel.

Three returns that spark hope at Colón

The good news for Colón is the recovery of three important players. Mauro Peinipil, Leandro Allende and Julián Marcioni are fit to return, and everything indicates that they would be in the starting lineup in Lomas de Zamora.

These are returns that give the team back options and balance, at a time when every point is starting to matter in Zone A.

Confirmed absences and doubts

Not everything is positive for Medrán. Matías Muñoz will have to serve one more match of suspension after his sending-off against Deportivo Morón, despite the steps the club is taking with the AFA to try to reduce the ban.

Added to that absence is Matías Godoy, who was sent off against Godoy Cruz and will also be unavailable.

Meanwhile, Federico Lértora’s situation remains uncertain. The midfielder came off with discomfort in his adductors and will be assessed during the week to determine whether he can be considered.

A clash that could shape Colón’s path

The match against Los Andes looks like a turning point. Colón not only needs to start winning again, but also make up ground in the fight for first place, in an increasingly tight table.

With key players returning, but also with absences forcing the team to be reshaped, El Sabalero is preparing for a high-stakes challenge, where the footballing response will be crucial to sustaining its ambitions of being a main contender.
