Medrán hunts for Marcioni’s replacement at Colón ahead of Acassuso clash | OneFootball

Colón continues its preparations for the upcoming match against Acassuso, part of the 5th round of Group A in the Primera Nacional. On Thursday morning, the squad completed another training session at the facility, where coach Ezequiel Medrán began to consider alternatives.

The main setback is the absence of Julián Marcioni, who suffered a muscle tear and will be out of action for about three weeks. This is a significant loss for the Sabalero, as he had been an important part of the offensive scheme.

Adding to this situation, Matías Godoy, who could have been a natural replacement in that position, is also unavailable due to the same injury, forcing the coaching staff to look for other solutions.

Who will replace Marcioni in Colón?

Among the options the coach is considering is the possibility of bringing in Darío Sarmiento or Conrado Ibarra, which would allow for some adjustments in midfield roles and for Ignacio Lago to switch flanks to balance the team’s performance.

Another alternative on the table is Emanuel Beltrán, who has already played in a more advanced role. In fact, in the match against Ferro, he came on to play as a right midfielder. With several days left before the game, Medrán will have time to assess the different options and decide on the most suitable plan to face the challenge.

Initially, the coaching staff is considering giving the squad the weekend off, to then resume training on Monday and tackle the final stage of preparations with their sights set on the match against Acassuso.
