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

Pending the final decision by the Divisional Board on what to do with Matchday 21 (there are two ideas: suspend everything or play it between Friday, Monday, and Tuesday), the label does not change: Ferro vs. Colón in Caballito is “the match.” Leader against runner-up—it says it all.

Verdolaga, who have been on an impressive run since Juan Manuel Sara took over as head coach, will be without two indispensable starters when they host Sabalero. Goalkeeper Fernando Monetti and top scorer Emanuel Dening picked up their fifth yellow card, so they will be watching from the stands.

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

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 of Parque Patricios and whose registration is shared by “Globo” and Unión Española of Chile, still does not have the TMS needed to play for Colón (it’s only a matter of days).
