It wouldn't be unreasonable for Colón's coach Ezequiel Medrán to repeat the lineup to visit Defensores de Belgrano on Monday.
The team's performance left Colón's coach Ezequiel Medrán very satisfied. Therefore, it's not far-fetched to think that the Sabalero might repeat the lineup to visit Defensores de Belgrano next Monday.
And although Zahir Yunis is able to return after serving his suspension, the reality is that Nicolás Talpone and Oscar Garrido delivered.
Therefore, it wouldn't be surprising if Medrán confirms the central midfield duo, aiming to give them more playtime to start solidifying a style of play.
In the defensive block, it's clear there won't be any changes, so the only question might be whether to include Luis Rodríguez or not.
With another week of recovery, Pulga is now in full physical condition after the muscle injury he suffered. But based on the system of play Medrán wants to implement, it's likely that José Barreto will remain as a starter.
Especially considering that Colón will be playing as the visiting team. Consequently, we'll have to wait to see if the coach confirms the same 11 or considers a change.
If he ultimately opts for the same lineup, it will be the second time this happens in the championship. The previous instance was between the 3rd and 4th rounds with Ariel Pereyra as coach, when Colón defeated Mitre 1-0 and Chaco For Ever 2-1.
