Once again, Cristian García was unavailable for Colón to play against Estudiantes de Río Cuarto for matchday 30 of the Primera Nacional. The central midfielder, who arrived more than three months ago at the request of then-coach Andrés Yllana, has only played 10 minutes since joining the club, in the match against Defensores de Belgrano as a visitor.
Yesterday, he was left out of the match against the team from Córdoba due to a muscle strain that prevented him from being included in the squad list. Even though coach Ezequiel Medrán was considering adding him to the roster, he decided not to do so, as he wants players who are 100% fit to face this tough and complex moment that the Sabalero team is going through in this Primera Nacional.
This is a significant setback for a player who had been identified by Yllana as a solution for the team's defensive midfield and who, so far, has not been able to show his potential on the field.
Given this situation, the fans will have to keep waiting to see him play, since 10 minutes is not enough to get to know a player, and there are fewer and fewer matches left before the end of the Primera Nacional, with Colón now condemned to fight to stay in the division.
