Colón get key men back as Medrán plots trip to Almirante Brown | OneFootball

Colón has already put the draw against Mitre at the Brigadier López behind it and is now focused on next Saturday’s match at 3:30 p.m. against Almirante Brown at the Fragata Presidente Sarmiento stadium, for Matchday 15 of Primera Nacional’s Zone A.

The red-and-black team comes into the game emotionally shaken after losing the top spot in the standings following the 1-1 draw in Santa Fe, a result that dropped it to fourth place in the table. That is why the coaching staff led by Ezequiel Medrán considers it essential to recover key players in order to try to get back to winning ways on the road.

Medrán awaits Rasmussen and Lértora at Colón

The main updates concern the physical progress of Tomás Paredes, Federico Rasmussen, and Federico Lértora. The most advanced case appears to be Paredes, who is recovering from a muscle tear and has a real chance of being called up again for the trip to Buenos Aires.

Meanwhile, there is a great deal of optimism among the coaching staff regarding the recoveries of Rasmussen and Lértora. The defender is dealing with an injury to one of his ankles, which caused him to miss the match against Mitre, while the midfielder suffered a minor muscle tear in the adductor area.

If both respond well in the upcoming training sessions, Medrán would put them straight back into the starting lineup.

Tactical doubts for the match in Isidro Casanova

In defense, Rasmussen would come in for Sebastián Olmedo, who took his place against Mitre. Meanwhile, Lértora’s return could also alter the tactical setup in midfield.

If the former Belgrano player is fit enough, he could replace Darío Sarmiento or Matías Muñoz, depending on the type of match Medrán envisions against Almirante Brown.

If Lértora is not ready in time, the main doubt would be whether to keep Sarmiento on the field or opt for Agustín Toledo to give the midfield greater balance.

Needing to get back to winning and regain ground in the fight for the top spot, Colón will face a key match against a rival it leads by six points in the standings and that also needs points to avoid losing ground in Zone A.
