San Lorenzo will debut this Friday at 7 p.m. in the Apertura Tournament. It will be against Lanús, at the Pedro Bidegain stadium. The focus of the preview is on defense and doubts are accumulating.
Coach Damián Ayude works with a conditioned scenario. The central defense is not yet defined. There are sanctions that complicate planning. And alternatives that generate internal debate. The formation of the back is today the main Barça unknown.
Romagna, in suspense
The first concern is for Jhohan Romaña. The defender was sent off in the round of 16 against Central Córdoba. San Lorenzo tries to lift the suspension. The management remains open. But time is short.
If Romaña is not qualified, Daniel Herrera appears as a natural replacement. The defender has the advantage. Know the position. And he already had minutes in demanding contexts. If the Colombian cannot play, the youth player will take his place.
Another forced withdrawal
The second defensive problem is Franco Lorenzón. The central marker will not be able to play. You must meet a suspension date. He was expelled when Deportivo Morón faced Deportivo Madryn in the last B Nacional.
Lorenzón returned after his loan at Gallo. But this Friday he will have to look from the outside. That absence reduces the options. And forces the last line to be reordered.
With this panorama, San Lorenzo adjusts details. The coaching staff defines names and roles. The defense, for now, remains an unknown.
