Rasmussen ruled out for Colón's second-half opener in Madryn | OneFootball

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

The play that affected the former Godoy Cruz man came in the 36th minute of the second half at the Juan Alberto García stadium. With this booking, the defender 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 yellow-card karma in central defense

Rasmussen’s situation is exactly the same as what his defensive partner, Pier Barrios, went through. The former Belgrano player was in the same delicate disciplinary situation and, after picking up his fifth yellow card beforehand, was forced to miss this rescheduled fourth-round match 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 partner in central defense to cover for Rasmussen’s significant absence at one of the toughest venues in the division.
