"Aaron Suárez is now available and Lesme has an administrative issue; for now he cannot be used," Giacone explained.
Discussing squad depth, Giacone said the team has two players per position plus young prospects.
"We have a good squad and a good youth academy, with young boys who are up to the mark," he stated.
Regarding Marathón's recent coaching change, Giacone acknowledged the uncertainty.
"The first thing is that they changed coaches and the first official match will be against us," he said.
"The reference we have is the analysis of the previous tournament and the characteristics of the footballers."
He added that the new coach, Silvio Rudman, has not yet shown his idea because he has not played officially.
Giacone also highlighted the physical traits typical of Honduran clubs.
"Honduran football has always been characterized by having powerful, strong, and fast footballers," Giacone concluded. "Marathón combines those characteristics, in addition to having good foreign players."
