Leandro Allende, Colón’s only player one booking from a ban | OneFootball

The work week at Colón is going by with the focus on a single objective: winning again. After the valuable victory earned in Puerto Madryn, Ezequiel Medrán’s team will host Central Norte this Sunday at 3:30 p.m. in the 20th round of Primera Nacional’s Zone A.

While the coach fine-tunes the last details of the lineup that will look to extend El Sabalero’s good run, there is also a disciplinary situation taking up an important place in the planning.

He will play one match «on the edge at Colón»

The main figure is Leandro Allende, who has accumulated four yellow cards, so another one will rule him out of one of the toughest matches coming up for Colón: the visit to Ferro, the current leader of Zone A.

This is no minor issue. The left-footer has a role that forces him to be constantly involved both in marking and in attacking runs. That constant back-and-forth leaves him more exposed to physical contact and fouls, so he will have to find the balance between maintaining intensity and avoiding a booking that would keep him out of the next match.

For Medrán, it is also something to keep a close eye on. Although the priority is to take all three points against Central Norte, the coaching staff knows the schedule offers no letup and that losing a starter before facing Ferro would be a significant blow. Even so, Gabriel Risso Patrón has arrived as an alternative.
