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

In the lead-up to the clash against Godoy Cruz, Colón picked up a new cause for concern. Ignacio Lago did not train normally this Tuesday due to the discomfort that forced him off in the match against Deportivo Morón, a situation already mentioned by coach Ezequiel Medrán.

His progress will be closely monitored, but for now 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, level at the top with Morón and holding a three-point lead over Tomba, arrives with several issues to deal with. Added to Lago’s possible absence are 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 last moment, as he could return after overcoming his muscle injury.

How the team could be reshaped

If Lago is unavailable, the formation will have to change. In that scenario, and with Allende’s possible return, 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 suspended Muñoz, the coach is weighing two options: Agustín Toledo or Matías Godoy.

The attack, another question mark

Up front, the current trend suggests that Lucas Cano would remain in the starting lineup, despite his poor performance against Morón, to partner Alan Bonansea.

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

Medrán, facing key decisions

With several players in doubt and a direct rival in the battle for the top spot, Medrán will have to fine-tune every detail. Lago’s possible absence is no small matter: he is a player who brings attacking spark and goals to a team already hit hard by absences.
