El Ciclón arrives to face Gimnasia without Barrios or Giay, both suspended in the upcoming clash that follows the classic. The absence of these two pieces matters because their speed and creativity could have opened up moments for the team on the game plan the coach has in mind.
The visit of San Lorenzo to Parque Patricios to challenge Huracán carried a mix of cautious optimism and momentum. The 1-1 result kept them among the top two leaders of the Liga Professional 2023 and reinforced the perception of a squad that does not yield easily, even when expectations are high. They remain a difficult team to face, capable of grinding out results with a steady defensive base and decisive counterattacks when the chances appear.
What lies ahead for the Barcelona group is a fitness center session this Saturday, March 11 starting at 5 p.m. at the Pedro Bidegain Stadium. El Lobo has found it tough to climb the standings, registering only one win since the competition began, which places added pressure on the squad to bounce back with sharper execution and higher intensity in both training and upcoming matches.
THE CALL OF SAN LORENZO
The draw in the Buenos Aires classic produced two casualties for Insúa: Nahuel Barrios and Agustin Giay. The latter came off the bench hoping to return from injury but was sent off with a red card after an incident late in the match, compounding the toll of that result on the squad. The setback of Barrios, known for his pace and one-on-one ability, leaves the team short handed in wide areas and could influence how the coach structures attack and transition moments.
THE FORMATION OF SAN LORENZO
Even without his strongest display at Tomás Ducó, there is a real likelihood that the coach repeats the same setup against Lobo. The likely lineup features a compact back line, a control-oriented midfield, and a front line built to threaten in transition. The proposed formation could look like this: August Battle in goal; Federico Gattoni, Rafael Perez, Gaston Hernandez across the back; Gonzalo Lujan, Jalil Elias, Carlos Sanchez, Malcolm Braida in midfield; Ezequiel Cerutti, Andres Vombergar and Adam Bareiro up front.
