Looking ahead to the match against Chacarita on the 28th date of group B of the Primera Nacional, 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 Primera Nacional, but in addition to the sporting challenge, the team's technical staff, led by Ezequiel Medrán, will have to be very attentive to a situation that is becoming increasingly conditioning: yellow cards.
In a complicated moment physically, where the squad suffers losses due to injuries week after week, Colón also faces the constant threat of suspensions. For this match, Zahir Yunis will not be available, as he has reached the fifth yellow card and will have to serve a one-match suspension.
But he's not the only one in a delicate situation. Emmanuel Gigliotti, Brian Negro, and Guillermo Ortiz have accumulated four yellow cards, and if they receive one more, they will be automatically suspended for the next match against Defensores de Belgrano. These are three key players in the team's lineup, who have been carrying this burden for several dates, knowing that any infraction can leave them out of the game. Marcos Díaz also has four yellow cards, 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 margin for error. With a team that is already suffering from a lack of options due to injuries, losing any of these players 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 because of the urgent need to break the negative streak and add points, but also because of the latent risk of suffering new losses due to accumulation.
Colón has no margin, neither in the standings nor on the bench. And this Saturday, some of its key players will play with the additional pressure of knowing that another yellow card can leave them out just when the team needs them most.
