Ignacio Lago has surgery, out for opener against Deportivo Madryn | OneFootball

Colón’s top scorer, Ignacio Lago, has given the coaching staff a major headache at the start of the competition. The player had to undergo surgery last Monday due to a bone injury in one of the fingers on his hand, a physical issue he had been struggling with and carrying for about a month.

As a result of the operation and the expected recovery timeline, the forward has officially been ruled out of the squad for the first match of the opening round of the tournament, in which El Sabalero will face Deportivo Madryn on Sunday, July 5 at 3 p.m.

The coaching staff is currently assessing different tactical alternatives within the first-team squad to replace one of its attacking pieces while he begins his rehabilitation.
