San Lorenzo focus on Rosario: Romaña ready, Tripichio out | OneFootball

After the draw in their cup debut against Recoleta, the blue-and-red squad returned to training. The Colombian center back trained alongside the group and is shaping up to return, while Tripichio will be unavailable after picking up his fifth yellow card. On Sunday, El Ciclón will face Larriera’s team.

After the 1-1 draw in their international opener, the Boedo side is already fully focused on the Apertura Tournament. This Friday morning, the squad resumed training with next Sunday’s visit to Newell’s on Matchday 14 in mind, a key clash to avoid losing ground in the domestic competition.

Today’s session was shaped by physical recovery after the strain of the trip, but it brought news that will put a smile on Álvarez’s face: Jhohan Romaña trained alongside his teammates. The Colombian, who was rested in the Cup to avoid taking risks, appears to have recovered from his muscle issue and would regain his place in central defense.

However, it’s not all good news for El Ciclón. Nicolás Tripichio will miss the trip to Rosario. Although the midfielder is dealing with a fractured toe, what is actually ruling him out is his fifth yellow card. Faced with this significant absence, the coach is considering two names to fill the midfield role: Ignacio Perruzzi or Gonzalo Abrego.

The team will meet again bright and early on Saturday to carry out the final tactical work. After lunch, the delegation will travel by bus to Rosario to stay together ahead of Sunday’s match at 3:00 p.m. at the Marcelo Bielsa Stadium.
