Delfino already eyeing San Miguel and another win in sight

Colón is going through a positive week of training after the convincing 3-0 win over Patronato, but Iván Delfino is already considering changes for the next match against San Miguel. The coach knows he will have to manage the squad and assess the physical condition of several players before deciding on the lineup.

One of the question marks is Federico Lértora. The midfielder is dealing with patellar tendinitis in his right knee as a result of a knock suffered in the last match, although he still has a chance of being available. If he is fit, he could regain his place in midfield in place of Matías Muñoz, who scored one of the goals against Patronato.

There are also options in attack. Alan Bonansea is progressing well and could return to the starting lineup, while Leandro Garate is another option the coach is considering. At the same time, Delfino will have to decide who takes the place of Leandro Allende, who is not expected to start. Jerónimo Buosi and Franco García are among the possibilities.

The coach is also not ruling out a change in formation and could opt for a two-striker setup. One option would be to pair Garate with Bonansea, while another possibility would see Garate alongside Buosi.

Delfino also made it clear after the thrashing of Patronato that he will need the entire squad for the remainder of the championship. The manager acknowledged that the group is not particularly deep and that injuries and rotation will be decisive in the coming rounds.

In this way, despite the great result against Patronato, Colón will not repeat the same lineup and has several changes under consideration. The aim will be to maintain the momentum from back-to-back wins and continue making up ground in the Primera Nacional.
