Colón set to lose a key starter for clash with Talleres (RE) | OneFootball

Colón’s path toward Sunday’s match against Talleres de Remedios de Escalada (3:30 PM, for the 31st round of Zone B in Primera Nacional) is not an easy one. Coach Ezequiel Medrán received bad news during Thursday’s training session: Oscar Garrido suffered a physical discomfort that would sideline him from the match, in which he was projected to start.

Garrido’s absence forces the coach to rethink the midfield. The options include restoring confidence in Zahir Yunis or betting on Cristian García, who got some minutes in the loss against Defensores de Belgrano and is still seeking continuity after recovering from a muscle injury.

Meanwhile, there is good news with the recoveries of Lautaro Gaitán and Tomás Gallay, both available, although with little chance of starting. It’s a different story for Christian Bernardi, who continues working on his shoulder recovery and will not be part of the squad.

The attacking line also raises doubts: the presence of Luis Miguel Rodríguez is not guaranteed, and Medrán could make changes. Alternatives include José Barreto, to strengthen the midfield by moving Ignacio Lago forward, or Facundo Taborda, who could directly take Pulga’s place in the attack.

With this outlook, the Sabalero squad heads into the final training sessions of the week needing to find solidity and reliable alternatives for a match that could prove crucial in the fight for survival and in the goal of ending the year with greater football stability.

Colón needs to pick up points as visitors again to definitively escape the danger zone and start planning for a calmer end to the championship.
