Colón’s only good omen without Ignacio Lago | OneFootball

Colón will be without Ignacio Lago for the upcoming match against Godoy Cruz, a significant blow for Iván Delfino’s team given the importance the forward has taken on during the season. The player is dealing with a muscle injury and, with only a few days left before the match, is all but ruled out.

Lago is one of the Sabalero’s main figures. With 11 goals and six assists, he has become the team’s top scorer and leading assist provider, so his absence represents a major challenge for Colón.

However, the Santa Fe side has a precedent that allows them to view the situation with some optimism. Lago has missed just one match so far in the tournament, and it came away against a direct rival, a scenario similar to the one Colón will face against the Tomba.

That match took place on July 5, against Deportivo Madryn, on Matchday 19. On that occasion, the forward was unavailable due to surgery on his right hand.

Despite falling behind early because of a goal by Nicolás Servetto, Colón managed to respond in the second half and ended up turning the score around. Julián Marcioni and Alan Bonansea were the scorers who sealed the 2-1 win for the red-and-black side.

Now, Colón will look to repeat that formula and show that it can compete without its main attacking threat. Even so, Lago’s possible absence will be a major concern for Delfino, especially because of the striker’s impact on build-up play and finishing.

The Sabalero faces another demanding away fixture and will need to find alternatives to replace one of its biggest stars. The precedent against Deportivo Madryn stands as the main reason to keep hopes alive of getting a positive result even without Lago.
