Jorge Almirón showed that his hand does not shake when it comes to cutting players in Colo Colo. He did it with Ignacio Jara at the beginning of the season and Little by little, names were added to the “black list”, where several players from the squad are already registered.
One of the last to be deleted by the Argentine coach was Jeyson Rojaswho did not take advantage of the opportunities to earn the title and has already gone five consecutive games without entering the squad list, adding both the National Championship and the Copa Libertadores.
The turning point was the tough defeat that Colo Colo suffered against Ñublense in Chillán, where Jorge Almirón decided to play with a team full of substitutes to privilege the continental tournament. The white youth player played the entire match and ended up being the most criticized for his indifference at the Nelson Oyarzún stadium.
From then on there was break between the Argentine strategist and Jeyson Rojas. He never summoned him to an official match again and after the this Sunday’s game against Unión La Calera (he was not called up either) he will complete a month without even going to the substitute bench.
The future of Jeyson Rojas in Colo Colo is complicated
Jeyson Rojas was one of the footballers who had the most opportunities in Colo Coloespecially when Óscar Opazo went to Racing de Avellaneda at the beginning of 2023 and had to play for practically the entire first half of that season under the command of Gustavo Quinteros.
However, his performance was far from what was expected and he is currently far from convincing Jorge Almirón, who has chosen to change his scheme (line of three centre-backs) and even use Alan Saldivia as right back in the absence of Torta.
The future of Jeyson Rojas is complicated in Colo Colo and everything indicates that He could be one of the first footballers to leave the Monumental Stadium at the end of the year.
When does Jeyson Rojas’ contract end in Colo Colo?
Jeyson Rojas has a contract until December 2024 in Colo Colo. For this reason, if his bond is not extended between now and the end of the season, he will become one of the many players who will no longer wear the Cacique shirt.
It should be remembered that the albo youth squad debuted in October 2020, when the albos were fighting not to be relegated. He stuck to the first team and in these last four years He has played 75 games, without registering goals or assists.
