Confirmed blow for Madryn trip: Rasmussen misses Colón's opener | OneFootball

The draw, or rather Colón de Santa Fe’s performance against Chaco For Ever in Resistencia, not only left plenty to analyze on the football side, but also created a direct complication for putting together the team ahead of the next match. Center-back Federico Rasmussen was booked and reached the yellow-card limit, so he will now have to serve a mandatory one-match suspension.

The play that affected the former Godoy Cruz defender came in the 36th minute of the second half at the Juan Alberto García stadium. With this booking, the center-back will miss the crucial clash against Deportivo Madryn in the south of the country, which will mark the start of the second half of the Primera Nacional season.

The curse of bookings in central defense

Rasmussen’s situation is exactly the same as what his defensive partner, Pier Barrios, recently went through. The former Belgrano player was in the same delicate disciplinary situation and, after picking up his fifth previous booking, was forced to miss this rescheduled match from the fourth round against the Chaco side.

As a result, head coach Ezequiel Medrán continues to face a constant headache in trying to settle on his ideal back line. With Pier Barrios certain to return for the trip to Madryn, the coach must now find him a new partner in central defense to cover for Rasmussen’s important absence at one of the toughest grounds in the division.
