Alarm at Colón: Ignacio Lago misses training, doubt for Godoy Cruz clash | OneFootball

On the eve of the clash against Godoy Cruz, Colón added a new source of concern. Ignacio Lago did not train normally this Tuesday due to the discomfort that forced him to come off in the match against Deportivo Morón, a situation that had already been mentioned by coach Ezequiel Medrán.

His progress will be closely monitored, but as of today he is doubtful, which could become a significant absence for Sunday’s match at 7 p.m. at the Brigadier López.

Colón, a team hampered by absences

El Sabalero, leaders alongside Morón and three points ahead of El Tomba, arrive with several issues to deal with. To the possible absence of Lago are added the already confirmed absences of Matías Muñoz (suspended) and Mauro Peinipil and Julián Marcioni, both recovering from muscle tears.

At the same time, the coaching staff will assess Leandro Allende until the very last moment, as he could return after overcoming his muscle injury.

How the team could be reshaped

If Lago is unavailable, the system will have to be changed. In that scenario, and with the possible return of Allende, Conrado Ibarra could shift over to the left side, taking the spot usually occupied by the former Talleres and Atlético de Rafaela player.

To replace the sent-off Muñoz, the coach is considering two alternatives: Agustín Toledo or Matías Godoy.

The attack, another question mark

In attack, the trend suggests that Lucas Cano would remain in the starting lineup, despite his poor performance against Morón, to form a partnership with Alan Bonansea.

However, a change is not ruled out: Godoy is also an option to come into the team, precisely in place of Cano.

Medrán, facing key decisions

With several players doubtful and a direct rival in the fight for the top spot, Medrán will have to fine-tune every detail. Lago’s possible absence is no minor issue: he is a player who brings imbalance and goals to a team already hit by absences.
