Colón continues its preparations for its next Primera Nacional fixture and, with the match against Los Andes in mind, Iván Delfino began outlining the team that could take the field. The coach made several changes compared to the lineup he had been using and tested an eleven with new faces in different areas.
In training, the team fielded by Delfino was made up of Budiño; Olmedo, Rasmussen, Picech and Risso Patrón; Antonio, Muñoz, Sarmiento and García; Garate and Bonansea.
The main new development was in defense. Picech came in for Thaller, while Risso Patrón replaced Peinipil, so the coaching staff shuffled a few pieces to shape the back line that could face the side from Lomas de Zamora.
There was also a significant change in midfield. Muñoz took Lértora’s place, alongside Antonio and Sarmiento in an area where Delfino is looking for balance and greater dynamism for the upcoming match. García completed the attacking midfield sector.
Meanwhile, another of the day’s new developments came in attack: Bonansea was tested in place of Toledo. The forward partnered Garate in the attacking duo, in a variation that could give the coach another option for the meeting with Los Andes.
In this way, the Sabalero coach continues to assess alternatives, and the team’s final confirmation will still have to wait. However, the training session made it clear that Delfino is considering four changes compared to the previous lineup, with adjustments in defense, midfield, and attack.
The team tested by the coach was therefore Budiño; Olmedo, Rasmussen, Picech, Risso Patrón; Antonio, Muñoz, Sarmiento, García; Garate and Bonansea.
Colón will look to arrive in the best possible shape for the clash with Los Andes, at an important stage of the championship, with Delfino trying to find the form that will allow the team to maintain its good run and keep picking up points in the Primera Nacional.
