Colón is going through a positive week of training after the emphatic 3-0 win over Patronato, but Iván Delfino is already considering changes for the upcoming 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 main question marks is Federico Lértora. The midfielder is dealing with patellar tendinitis in his right knee, the result of a knock suffered in the last match, although he still has a chance of being available for the game. If he is fit, he could return to the 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 being considered by the coach. At the same time, Delfino will have to decide who will take 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 changing the system and going with a two-striker setup. One option would be to pair Garate with Bonansea, while another possibility would see Garate alongside Buosi.
In addition, after the rout over Patronato, Delfino made it clear that he will need the entire squad for what remains of the championship. The manager acknowledged that the group is not particularly deep and that injuries and squad rotation will be decisive in the coming rounds.
In this way, despite the excellent result against Patronato, Colón will not repeat the same lineup and has several changes under consideration. The goal will be to maintain the momentum from two consecutive wins and continue making up ground in the Primera Nacional.
