One surprise: the XI Delfino tried for Estudiantes (BA) | OneFootball

Colón is starting to clear up the picture for Saturday’s match against Estudiantes de Buenos Aires, but Iván Delfino still has a few issues to sort out. In Wednesday’s training session, the coach carried out tactical work that offered the first clues.

The main development came in the back line with the return of Nicolás Thaller after serving his two-match suspension. This comes while Pier Barrios is still training separately, to the point that he is now considered doubtful. Also drawing attention is the fact that Paraguayan defender Sebastián Olmedo worked with the backup team, considering he had been getting playing time.

Then came the expected returns of Agustín Toledo and Ignacio Lago after serving their respective suspensions for yellow-card accumulation. After that, despite the poor performance in Floresta, Darío Sarmiento remained at right wing, making it clear that Delfino no longer has alternatives there given the new attacking role Julián Marcioni has taken on.

The 11 players Delfino tested at Colón

Tomás Giménez; Mauro Peinipil, Nicolás Thaller, Federico Rasmussen and Facundo Castet; Darío Sarmiento, Federico Lértora, Agustín Toledo and Ignacio Lago; Julián Marcioni and Alan Bonansea.

For now, it is only a test and not a confirmed lineup. Thursday’s training session looks like the most important moment of the week, since Delfino could field a team again and start giving final shape to the eleven that will face Estudiantes.
