Turning the page: Colón back in training, eyes on Chaco For Ever | OneFootball

The recent defeat in Caballito against Ferro is already behind Colón in the team’s internal analysis. The coaching staff knows that the setback not only ended the good run, but also widened the gap to eight points behind the leader of Zone A. With the need to avoid losing any more ground, the squad is already working with its focus on next Sunday’s match, July 26 at 3:30 p.m., when they host Chaco For Ever at the Brigadier López stadium.

One suspension and the natural replacement

Coach Ezequiel Medrán already has one forced absence as he puts together the lineup. Left-back Leandro Allende picked up his fifth yellow card against Ferro and will have to serve a one-match suspension.

His spot at left-back would be taken by Gabriel Risso Patrón. The defender, who got some minutes in the second half of the last match, is shaping up as the direct replacement to make his first start in the Sabalero shirt.

Pier Barrios is ready to return and more changes are being considered

The good news of the week is the recovery of Pier Barrios. The center-back has overcome the injury that had kept him off the pitch and, if he maintains an optimal physical response in official training sessions, he will return to the starting lineup in central defense in place of Sebastián Olmedo. Likewise, the coaching staff is evaluating the possible return of Facundo Castet to the matchday squad to add options in defense.

In midfield, Medrán is considering a tactical adjustment to gain more attacking depth against the Chaco side. Franco García has a strong chance of coming into the starting eleven for Darío Sarmiento, with the aim of providing more movement in the final third. With a full week of training ahead, Colón is looking to correct its defensive and collective issues to secure all three points in front of its home fans and remain firmly among the frontrunners.
