Jarlan Barrera could join a growing list of injuries including Da Costa, Mosquera, John Duque and Palacios, with medical evaluations ongoing. Atlético Nacional will also contend with players who are away on international duty for Colombia, reducing their available squad and making a balanced eleven a likely replica of the lineup from the previous day against Pereira.
On the Medellín side, David González may have to cope without Ricaurte, Ibargüen, Gómez and Cambindo due to injuries. Monsalve and Cabezas are also unlikely to be eligible for international duty, further shaping a squad that not only intends to qualify in Libertadores but also carries momentum from a win against Jaguares at Atanasio.
