With four changes and one doubt, Medrán picks Colón XI for Acassuso | OneFootball

The need to react will have a direct impact on Colón's lineup. After suffering two straight defeats and with his future under scrutiny, head coach Ezequiel Medrán is preparing a major shake-up in the starting team for this Saturday’s visit to Acassuso, kicking off at 3:00 p.m., for the 23rd round of Zone A of the Primera Nacional. The match will be officiated by Bryan Ferreyra and broadcast by Radio Gol 96.7. The coach’s main objective is to freshen up a battered squad and find footballing answers in a match that could definitively shape the course of his spell in charge of the club.

Forced renewal in every line

The head coach has already settled on several key changes to the main structure. In defense, Pier Barrios will return to central defense in place of Sebastián Olmedo. In midfield, Matías Muñoz will come in for Darío Sarmiento to provide greater balance, while Ignacio Lago will regain his place on the wing in place of Franco García. Likewise, up front, Leandro Garate will serve as the main attacking reference due to the injury to Alan Bonansea.

An open question at left-back

The only doubt Medrán is keeping ahead of the weekend is at left-back. Although Leandro Allende has already served his suspension and is available, Facundo Castet has turned in good performances and currently has the edge to keep his starting spot, leaving Gabriel Risso Patrón further down in the coaching staff’s considerations.

The probable XI seeking a recovery

With one final training session still to come to fine-tune the details, Colón’s starting lineup is shaping up as Matías Budiño; Mauro Peinipil, Pier Barrios, Federico Rasmussen and Facundo Castet or Leandro Allende; Federico Lértora and Matías Muñoz; Julián Marcioni, Ignacio Antonio and Ignacio Lago; and Leandro Garate. With this setup, the Sabalero will take the field in Caseros knowing it must claim all three points to end the negative streak and bring calm to an institutional cycle going through its most delicate moment.
