Colón’s injury concerns ahead of the clash with Patronato

The coaching staff led by Iván Delfino is closely monitoring the progress of five key players as they put together the team for the next match. Just a few days before the clash against the Paraná side, all eyes at the Barrio Centenario club are on the medical report, where the recoveries of the main attacking references overlap with some complications in midfield.

The situation with the forwards

Alan Bonansea: He is showing favorable progress from his knee sprain. The coaching staff will keep a close watch on him to determine whether he can be fit enough, at least to be included in the list of 20 called-up players.
Leandro Garate: He will be tested thoroughly in today’s training session to assess his physical response. The striker is dealing with discomfort considered normal, since he had been working on regaining full fitness and had to log playing time unexpectedly following Bonansea’s absence.

Complications in midfield and the transfer market

Federico Lértora: He continues to have knee pain. The experienced holding midfielder will be evaluated day by day by the medical staff to determine whether he can be considered available.
Agustín Toledo: He has a muscle strain in the adductor of his right leg, which raises concerns about the central midfield rotation.
Departure of youth players: On the institutional side, the club’s management continues with its plan to free up budget space and find destinations for sidelined players. Youth player Yunis is on that list, although for now the offers brought to him have not been convincing enough for the player.
