With just three sessions, Colón face another big Primera Nacional test | OneFootball

The squad leaves this morning for Buenos Aires for Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. match. There is optimism over Lértora and Rasmussen.

Colón wrapped up its short week this Thursday ahead of the match against Almirante Brown, and this Friday morning it heads to Buenos Aires to face another Primera Nacional fixture.

The squad was scheduled to report at 7 a.m. at the training ground for breakfast before departing by bus to Buenos Aires Province. As Julio Martínez reported on ADN Gol, once settled in, the players will not hold a formal training session and will only do activation work with Saturday’s match in mind.

Medrán’s team had only a few days to work after its last match. The squad rested on Monday and did not return to training until Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, in a short week with a heavy physical load.

On the football side, the coaching staff is optimistic about the recoveries of Federico Lértora and Federico Rasmussen. Both were tested during the football practice and are shaping up to start.

Lértora has put a minor muscle tear behind him, while Rasmussen missed the match against Mitre due to an ankle issue. If they respond well, they would come in for Olmedo and Muñoz.

Colón goes into the match in fourth place in the table with 24 points, just one behind the leaders. It is also level on points with Los Andes and Ferro, which plays today against Racing (C).

The match against Almirante Brown will be played this Saturday starting at 3:30 p.m., with Bruno Amiconi as the main referee.

As for the head-to-head record, they have met in 37 official matches, with 16 wins for Colón, 11 victories for Almirante Brown, and 10 draws.

The probable lineup for tomorrow would be Budiño in goal; a back four of Peinipil, Barrios, Rasmussen, Allende; two central midfielders: Lértora, Antonio; further forward Marcioni, Sarmiento and Lago, and up front as striker Alan Bonansea.
