The league is set to kick off this weekend, and while the clubs are still putting together their squads, we took a look at some of the players to watch this season in Colombia.
Jesús Marimón – Patriotas Boyacá
Featured in The Guardian’s next generation of 2015, he is back in Colombia after some less than fruitful years in Belgium. The central midfielder who came over from Royal Excel Mouscron didn’t get game time mainly due to several injuries that kept him sidelined. Marimón, once dubbed the Colombian Yaya Touré, is a box-to-box midfielder who likes to cover a lot of ground and is very strong on the ball. The former Colombian youth international hasn’t played a game since April 2018, so there are question marks around his fitness, but when fit he should be a useful addition to the team from Tunja.
