Lago trained with the subs, Colón will wait until the last minute | OneFootball

Colón still has not finalized the team that will host Los Andes this Sunday at the Brigadier López. The main question mark is Ignacio Lago, who trained with the backup side this Friday. Although nothing has been confirmed yet, Iván Delfino’s coaching staff decided to wait until the last moment to determine whether he can be an option.

Lago is working to be fit for the match

Ignacio Lago is still working his way back to full fitness and took part in training with the backup team this Friday. The forward is trying to overcome the physical discomfort that kept him on a separate training schedule in recent days.

His presence is still not guaranteed, but there is still hope at Colón. Delfino wants to wait until the very last moment before making a final decision and, if he responds well, he could be considered for the clash against Los Andes.

Lago could change the system as Delfino weighs alternatives

Ignacio Lago’s situation is another issue the coach will have to resolve before the match. The forward is still working to be fit in time, and his presence could alter the setup Delfino used in the last training session.

If Lago is available, one option would be to switch to a 4-2-3-1, with the attacker supported by Franco García or Darioa Sarmiento in the line of attacking midfielders and a lone striker up front.

In that scenario, Delfino will have to decide who will lead the attack. The decision will be known once the coaching staff is certain about Lago’s recovery and can finalize the lineup to host Los Andes.

Meanwhile, the coach continues to assess different options due to the many absences Colón has. The goal will be to find the best possible lineup to try to end the run of three straight defeats and get back to picking up points at the Brigadier López.
