Federico Rasmussen set to join Lertora out for Mitre clash | OneFootball

At the start of the week, Colón coach Ezequiel Medrán already knew he would have to make one forced change due to the injury Federico Lértora suffered in the match against Estudiantes de Buenos Aires.

Colón with one confirmed change and one question mark

The midfielder suffered a tear in his adductor and, as a result, will miss the match the Sabalero will play this Sunday against Mitre de Santiago del Estero.

For that reason, the coach settled on a tactical switch by bringing in Darío Sarmiento in place of Lértora and playing with two holding midfielders: Ignacio Antonio and Matías Muñoz.

However, in Thursday’s football practice, Sebastián Olmedo was part of the defensive unit, forming the center-back pairing alongside Pier Barrios, with Federico Rasmussen dropping out of the team.

In that regard, reports are conflicting, since while some attribute this change to a physical issue—mentioning severe ankle pain—others say it would be tactical.

It seems hard to imagine Medrán leaving Rasmussen out if he is physically fit. So, we will have to wait to find out whether the former Godoy Cruz player keeps his place in the team or if the Paraguayan starts in the lineup.
