The need to react will have a direct impact on Colón’s lineup. After suffering two straight defeats and with his future under scrutiny, head coach Ezequiel Medrán is preparing a major overhaul of the starting team for this Saturday’s visit to Acassuso, kicking off at 3:00 p.m., for Matchday 23 of Zone A of the Primera Nacional. The match will be refereed by Bryan Ferreyra and broadcast by Radio Gol 96.7. The coach’s main objective is to freshen up a battered squad and find footballing answers in a match that could definitively shape the course of his spell in charge of the club.
The head coach has already settled on several key changes to the main structure. In defense, Pier Barrios will return to central defense in place of Sebastián Olmedo. In midfield, Matías Muñoz will come in for Darío Sarmiento to provide greater balance, while Ignacio Lago will regain his spot on the wing for Franco García. Likewise, up front, Leandro Garate will lead the attack due to the injury to Alan Bonansea.
The only doubt Medrán still has ahead of the weekend is at left-back. Although Leandro Allende has already served his suspension and is available again, Facundo Castet has delivered strong performances and currently has the edge to keep his place in the starting lineup, leaving Gabriel Risso Patrón further down the coaching staff’s pecking order.
With one final training session left to fine-tune the details, Colón’s starting lineup is shaping up as Matías Budiño; Mauro Peinipil, Pier Barrios, Federico Rasmussen and Facundo Castet or Leandro Allende; Federico Lértora and Matías Muñoz; Julián Marcioni, Ignacio Antonio and Ignacio Lago; and Leandro Garate. With this setup, the Sabalero will take the field in Caseros knowing they are obliged to take all three points to end the negative run and bring calm to an institutional spell going through its most delicate moment.
