Leandro Allende, the only Colón 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. for the 20th round of Primera Nacional’s Zone A.

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

He will play one match “on the edge at Colón”

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

It is a factor that is far from minor. 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 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 watch closely. Although the priority is to take all three points against Central Norte, the coaching staff knows the schedule offers no respite and that losing a starter before facing Ferro would be a significant blow. Even so, Gabriel Risso Patrón has arrived as an alternative.
