No striker, no keeper: Ferro's two absentees to face Colón | OneFootball

Pending the final decision by the Divisional Board, which must decide what to do with Matchday 21 (there are two ideas: suspend everything or play it between Friday, Monday, and Tuesday), the label remains unchanged: Ferro-Colón in Caballito is “the match.” Leader versus runner-up — that says it all.

El Verdolaga, who are coming off an impressive run since Juan Manuel Sara took over as head coach, will be without two key starters for the visit of El Sabalero. Goalkeeper Fernando Monetti and top scorer Emanuel Dening picked up their fifth yellow cards, so they will be watching from the stands.

By contrast, Ezequiel Medrán’s Colón (who won, thrashed, and impressed) arrives with very good news in addition to the 4-0 win over Central Norte from Salta: both Pier Barrios (recovered from injury) and Ignacio Antonio (served his suspension for five yellow cards) are available again for the Sabalero coach to consider.

At the same time, Medrán himself confirmed at a press conference that “Risso Patrón has arrived, is training, and is eligible; but Garate’s situation is different.” The “No. 9,” who arrived from Huracán in Parque Patricios and whose registration is shared by El Globo with Unión Española of Chile, still does not have the TMS needed to play for Colón (it’s only a matter of days).
