At a glance
- Jonathan Villagra and Joaquín Sosa completed full training with Colo-Colo after recovering from physical problems.
- Their availability is important because Arturo Vidal will miss the next match through an accumulation of yellow cards.
- Fernando De Paul remains unavailable, while goalkeeper Vozinha could retain his starting place.
Colo-Colo received a boost in training when defenders Jonathan Villagra and Joaquín Sosa returned to normal work with the squad. Both players had been recovering from separate physical problems and completed Tuesday’s session under coach Fernando Ortiz.
Their return gives the coaching staff more options for the next match, especially with Arturo Vidal ruled out after accumulating yellow cards. One possibility is to keep the team’s back three and use Iván Román, although the final defensive lineup remains undecided now that Villagra and Sosa are back in contention.
In goal, Vozinha could remain the starter after playing in Colo-Colo’s last match against Huachipato. Fernando De Paul is still not ready to return, leaving Eduardo Villanueva as another option.
