Colo Colo will visit Athletico Paranaense for Libertadores Cup with three very important casualties. Matías Zaldivia, Julio Barroso and Esteban Paredes they stayed down the plane to Curitiba and technician Gualberto Jara had to deal with what is left.
However, one of the solutions has not been such. Is about Nicolas Blandi, who went from being the great price of the Albos in the reinforcements market to becoming the third alternative for the position of center forward. In Arena do Baixada the holder will be Javier Parraguez.
So far no public explanations have appeared. But the representative of the Argentine attacker, Pablo Sabbag, takes responsibility away from his ward and places any justification on the figure of Gualberto Jara.
“I cannot answer why Nicolás does not play. Ask the Colo Colo coach why he does not, he has the answer for that,” says the agent of the former San Lorenzo striker, for which the Cacique paid him 1, 1 million dollars to San Lorenzo, in dialogue with La Cuarta.
Like his teammates, Blandi went through the pandemic with his contract suspended and his physical preparation was lost. But Sabbag clarifies that it has not been a problem. “Nicolás is well physically, without problems. In spirits too,” he completed.

The truth is that Blandi has been more relevant for what he lost than for what he won. He has only played six games, with a balance of two goals, but he also missed a penalty against the University of Concepción and a solo header against the University of Chile.
Colo Colo will face Paranaense with Brayan Cortés in goal; Óscar Opazo, Felipe Campos, Juan Insaurralde and Ronald de la Fuente in the rear; César Fuentes, Gabriel Suazo, Matías Fernández in the core; Marcos Bolados, Parraguez and Pablo Mouche in point.
The meeting is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. and will be valid for the fourth date of Group C of the Copa Libertadores. Both teams lead the series with six points from three games and the winner will make an important step to the round of 16.
