Colón’s three key players at risk for Chacarita clash | OneFootball

Looking ahead to the match against Chacarita on the 28th date of group B of the First National, in Colón there will be several names to pay attention to

Colón will face a key duel against Chacarita this Saturday for the 28th date of group B of the First National, but in addition to the sports challenge, the technical staff of Ezequiel Medrán will have to be very attentive to a situation that becomes increasingly conditioning: yellow cards.

In a complicated moment from a physical standpoint, where the squad suffers casualties due to injuries week after week, the Sabalero also faces the constant threat of suspensions. For this match, Zahir Yunis will not be available, as he reached the fifth and will have to serve a one-match ban.

But he's not the only one in a delicate situation. Emmanuel Gigliotti, Brian Negro and Guillermo Ortiz have accumulated four yellow cards and, in case of receiving one more, they will be automatically out of the next match against Defensores de Belgrano. These are three key pieces in the team's lineup, which have been carrying this burden for several dates, knowing that any infraction can leave them out. Marcos Díaz also has four, but he is not being considered.

In this context, the technical staff will have to manage the minutes and decisions on the field with caution, knowing that there is no room for error. With a team that already suffers from a lack of variants due to injuries, losing any of these names would be a new headache.

The match against Chacarita, which will be played at the Brigadier López stadium, will be a double test: not only due to the urgent need to cut the negative streak and add up, but also due to the latent risk of suffering new casualties due to accumulation.

Colón has no margin, neither in the table nor on the bench. And this Saturday, some of its referents will play with the additional pressure of knowing that another yellow card can leave them out just when the team needs them most.
