Colón set to lose key starter for clash against Talleres (RE) | OneFootball

Colón's path to Sunday's match against Talleres de Remedios de Escalada (3:30 PM, for the 31st round of Zone B of the Primera Nacional) is not easy. Coach Ezequiel Medrán received bad news during Thursday's training: Oscar Garrido suffered a physical discomfort that would sideline him from the match where he was projected as a starter.

Garrido's absence forces the coach to rethink the midfield. The options are to restore confidence in Zahir Yunis or to bet on Cristian García, who gained minutes in the loss against Defensores de Belgrano and is still seeking continuity after overcoming a muscle injury.

Meanwhile, good news comes with the recoveries of Lautaro Gaitán and Tomás Gallay, both available, although with little chance of starting. The case is different for Christian Bernardi, who continues working on his shoulder recovery and will not be part of the squad.

The attack front also raises doubts: the presence of Luis Miguel Rodríguez is not assured, and Medrán might introduce changes. Alternatives include José Barreto, to strengthen the midfield by moving Ignacio Lago forward, or Facundo Taborda, who could directly take the place of Pulga in the offense.

With this scenario, the Sabalero squad faces the last practices of the week with the need to find solidity and reliable options for a match that could be crucial in the fight for permanence and in the goal of closing the year with greater football stability.

Colón needs to start earning points as visitors to definitively escape the compromised positions and begin to project a more tranquil end to the championship.
