Colón, three players one booking from a ban before first round ends | OneFootball

Colón already knows it will be without Pier Barrios for this Saturday’s match at 4 p.m. against Chaco For Ever in Resistencia, a pending fixture from the fourth round of Primera Nacional’s Zone A that will be refereed by Yamil Possi. The center-back reached the limit of five yellow cards and will have to serve a one-match suspension.

However, the coaching staff’s concern does not end there. There are three other important squad players who will travel carrying bookings and could miss the next match if they are shown a yellow card.

With a schedule that presents an important peculiarity, managing those situations appears to be another aspect for Ezequiel Medrán to consider.

Three key names who will have to be careful at Colón

The list of players on yellow-card alert includes Federico Rasmussen, Federico Lértora, and Facundo Castet.

In Rasmussen’s case, the situation takes on special importance because he is the team’s defensive leader and, precisely, the one who will have to hold the back line together in Barrios’s absence.

Lértora, meanwhile, has become both a footballing and emotional reference point within the team. The captain is a central piece in Colón’s midfield, and a potential absence would significantly alter the team’s balance.

The third case is Castet, who is coming off an important contribution against Defensores de Belgrano, where he played the entire second half and continues to gain consideration within the squad.

All three have accumulated four yellow cards, and another booking would rule them out for the next match.

The context means every booking carries greater weight. After the match against Chaco For Ever, Colón will have a short break before the start of the second half of the season.
