Turning the page: Colón back in training, Chaco For Ever in mind | OneFootball

The recent defeat in Caballito against Ferro is already behind Colón in the team’s internal analysis. The coaching staff knows that the setback not only ended the good run, but also left them eight points behind the leader of Zone A. With the obligation not to lose any more ground, the squad is already working with its focus on next Sunday’s match, July 26 at 3:30 p.m., when they will host Chaco For Ever at the Brigadier López stadium.

One suspension and the natural replacement

Coach Ezequiel Medrán already has one forced absence as he puts together the lineup. Left back Leandro Allende picked up his fifth yellow card against Ferro and will have to serve a one-match suspension.

His place at left back would be taken by Gabriel Risso Patrón. The defender, who got some minutes in the second half of the last match, is shaping up as the direct replacement and could make his first start in the Sabalero shirt.

Pier Barrios is ready to return and more changes are being considered

The good news of the week is the recovery of Pier Barrios. The center back has overcome the injury that kept him off the pitch and, if he continues to respond well physically in official training sessions, he will return to the starting lineup in central defense in place of Sebastián Olmedo. Likewise, the coaching staff is evaluating the possible return of Facundo Castet to the matchday squad to add options in defense.

In midfield, Medrán is considering a tactical change to gain more attacking depth against the team from Chaco. Franco García has a strong chance of coming into the starting eleven in place of Darío Sarmiento, with the aim of providing more movement in the final third. With a full week of training ahead, Colón is looking to correct its defensive and collective shortcomings to secure all three points in front of its fans and remain firmly among the top spots.
