Madelón chooses between Colazo and Díaz to replace Estigarribia | OneFootball

In the match against Newell’s, forward Marcelo Estigarribia was booked and, as a result, picked up his fifth yellow card. Consequently, he will not be available for the match Unión will play against Vélez.

Madelón and the question over Estigarribia’s replacement With that in mind, Unión coach Leonardo Madelón is forced to make changes to the team, and there are two options to replace Estigarribia.

One is Agustín Colazo and the other is Diego Armando Díaz. Both players have had limited playing time in the Apertura Tournament, although based on past performances and their characteristics, Colazo appears to have the edge.

Even though in the match against Newell’s, the coach decided to bring on Diego Díaz late on rather than Colazo. The truth is that both players have had very little game time.

So far in the Apertura, Colazo has made just 138 minutes, and his last match was on Matchday 4, in the 1-0 defeat to Central Córdoba, coming on in the 42nd minute of the second half.

Although Colazo’s last appearance in the red-and-white shirt was on March 30, when he started in the Copa Argentina match against Agropecuario. In that game, he was substituted in the 16th minute of the second half.

Meanwhile, Diego Díaz has played just 95 minutes in the Apertura. Against Newell’s he came on in the 44th minute of the second half, and his previous match had been against Boca, when he entered the field in the 26th minute of the second half.
