Madryn assess squad changes for Saturday’s clash with Colón | OneFootball

Deportivo Madryn has entered the final stretch of its preparation with its sights set on the main goal: the start of the Primera Nacional. Next Saturday, the "Aurinegro" will host Colón de Santa Fe in what promises to be a high-voltage debut, and to arrive in optimal conditions, the team led by Leandro Gracián (or Cristián Díaz depending on the current process) conducted a demanding football test against Olimpo in Trelew.

In the first match, under intense heat at Huracán's field, Madryn drew 1-1 against the Bahía team. The Chubut team showed an ambitious stance, ideal for the clash against the "Sabalero", opening the score through a penalty executed by Mauricio Cuero. Although the pace slowed in the second half and Enzo Coacci equalized for the visitors, the collective performance left encouraging signs. In the second match, in a more reduced format, the "Depo" won 1-0 with a goal from Juan Peinipil, who captured a rebound after a penalty to seal the victory and strengthen the group's confidence.

The medical report: the race against time for Saturday

Looking ahead to the match against Colón, the coaching staff is closely monitoring the infirmary to define the starting eleven. The main concern is Giacopuzzi, who left the field due to discomfort in his left hamstring. However, not all is alarming: Nazareno Solís has already added minutes after overcoming a strain, and Camilo Machado has been medically cleared. On the contrary, key players like Nicolás Servetto (tear), Gabriel Gudiño (knee sprain), and Luis Silba, who did not participate in the practice due to an adductor overload, remain doubtful or ruled out.

Star visit before the debut

The preparatory day featured a stellar presence in the stands: Claudio "Turco" García. The historic former forward was present to accompany his son, Yamil García, a recent addition to the club from Rampla Juniors. His presence not only elevated the morning of football in the Valley but also helped to ease the atmosphere before the team fully focuses on the challenge next Saturday, where Deportivo Madryn will seek to spoil the debut of the always-favored Colón.
