Lértora, annoyed at Delfino's call to leave him out v Patronato | OneFootball

The lead-up to the match between Colón and Patronato left a particular situation within the Sabalero squad. According to La DOCE on Radio Gol, Federico Lértora said he wanted to play and that he was in good condition, but he ultimately was left out of Iván Delfino’s plans for the match.

The midfielder reportedly did not take the coach’s decision well. Lértora was convinced he could be part of the team and expected to have the chance to get some minutes, so Delfino’s decision caused some discomfort for the player.

The situation arose in the context of an important match for Colón, who needed points against Patronato to stay in the fight for the top spots in the Primera Nacional. In that context, Lértora’s absence drew attention, especially considering that, according to the information provided on La Doce on Radio Gol

Delfino, for his part, decided to do without the midfielder and move forward with another option to shape the midfield. The coach took on the challenge of finding a system that will allow the team to regain consistency and become contenders again in the second half of the championship.

Lértora’s discomfort adds another element to the squad’s current situation, and it will be worth watching closely how the relationship between the player and the coaching staff develops over the next few matches. Delfino’s decision marks one of the first internal differences since his arrival at the club, although for now it appears to be a specific situation tied to team selection.

Lértora will have to wait for another opportunity to show the coach that he can be an important piece for Colón. Meanwhile, Delfino continues working in search of a team that can help the Sabalero put together a run of good results again and move closer to the goal of competing for the top spots.
