The Colón side Medrán has in mind to face Paysandú FC | OneFootball

Colón will take the field again this Friday in the Río de La Plata Series and, behind closed doors, the match against Paysandú FC appears more like a testing ground than just a simple preseason stop. Starting at 8 PM, at Parque Artigas, Ezequiel Medrán could shuffle the lineup and showcase a different version of the team that played against Miramar Misiones.

Wednesday’s training session offered some clues, though no certainties. Nicolás Thaller and Matías Godoy were present once again, but the rest of the team remains shrouded in questions. In this context, other names are starting to gain ground, such as Sebastián Olmedo or Lucas Cano, who has already made some noise with two goals and is shaping up as an option to watch closely.

It wouldn’t be surprising, in fact, if the coach opts for an almost complete overhaul of the starting eleven. The idea is clear: observe, assess, and draw conclusions, especially about those players who have had little involvement so far.

True to his style, Medrán isn’t revealing anything. The secrecy marks the lead-up and extends beyond the match in Uruguay. On Saturday, there will be a final internal friendly, and then the team will return to Santa Fe, with Sunday off for the squad and training resuming on Monday. The Sabalero puzzle is still being assembled, and each rehearsal adds another piece.
