Colón is going through the decisive stretch of the Primera Nacional needing to pick up points while also paying close attention to the disciplinary situation of several of its players. After the 1-0 defeat to Racing de Córdoba, three players ended up with four yellow cards and are now one booking away from suspension.
Mauro Peinipil, Ignacio Lago, and Facundo Castet are the players who will have to be careful in the coming rounds. The first two had already gone into the match against Racing with four bookings, while Castet was shown a card in Nueva Italia and joined the group of players on the limit.
The situation takes on greater importance because the Sabalero has nine matches left to try to make up ground in Zone A and finish in a favorable position heading into the Reducido. A suspension at this stage could mean an important absence for Iván Delfino.
In addition, there are three other players who are also close to being suspended: Matías Muñoz, Federico Lértora, and Julián Marcioni, who have accumulated three yellow cards and, with another booking, would be one card away from serving a one-match suspension.
Colón’s next match will be key. On Saturday, starting at 5 p.m., they will host Deportivo Morón at the Brigadier López stadium on Matchday 28. The Buenos Aires side is one of the contenders in the battle for the top spots, so the match shapes up as an important test for Delfino’s team.
With six players awaiting their disciplinary fate, Colón will have to face this stretch of the championship with maximum focus. At a stage where every point carries special weight, being without important pieces due to an accumulation of yellow cards could further complicate the objective of reaching the Reducido in a strong position.
