The players set to join Colón’s pre-season squad | OneFootball

Colón will resume training this Monday at the June 4th Facility with a scene that perfectly reflects the institutional moment: the professional squad returning without certainties, youth players working for a week, and players considering legal action due to unpaid salaries. As November 30th, the election date, approaches, sports and managerial concerns grow.

After starting work with a broad base of youth players, Ezequiel Medrán will have the professional group under his command for the first time, who would show up with the intention to train, but also with the concrete possibility of serving the club with legal notices to claim the three months of unpaid salaries. The atmosphere is far from ideal for starting a new preparation phase.

A Coach on the Tightrope Depending on the Political Future

The name Medrán does not find widespread support among the candidates either. Looking towards the election that will determine the successor of Víctor Godano, only two lists (led by Ricardo Luciani and José Alonso) project him as the coach for 2026, while the other three alternatives do not yet consider him. The coach works without guarantees while the club debates its direction.

The Professionals Returning Now

With a contract valid until December 2025: Marcos Díaz, Gonzalo Bettini, Facundo Sánchez, Guillermo Ortiz, Brian Negro, Federico Jourdan, Lautaro Laborié, Nicolás Fernández, Emmanuel Gigliotti, Christian Bernardi, Alex Aranda, Óscar

Nahuel Curcio also joins, after returning from his loan at San Telmo, with a contract until December 2026.

A Return That Reflects the Institutional Moment The start of work with the full squad is not seen as the beginning of a new phase, but as an attempt to maintain the structure while waiting for the political context to be defined. The professional squad will return, but they might do so with legal notices in hand. Colón begins to train. But first, it needs to put its house in order.
