Unión back in training after tough loss to Central Córdoba | OneFootball

Unión returned to training this Monday at Casasol, preparing for the match next Tuesday, October 21 at 7:15 PM against Defensa y Justicia, for matchday 13 of Zone A in the Professional League Tournament.

Unión, back in action

The team from Santa Fe is looking to regain ground after a short streak of four matches without a win—two consecutive draws and two losses—which pushed them down the table and left both their place in the division and their chance to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since the Cup format was implemented in doubt.

The main news from training was the recovery of Diego Armando Díaz, who was cleared to play after the episode of faintness he suffered last week and the corresponding medical tests.

Díaz becomes another option for the attack, which could once again feature the duo of Marcelo Estigarribia and Cristian Tarragona.

Madelón is still assessing the situation of Marcelo Estigarribia, who played the entire second half against Central Córdoba after missing the match with Aldosivi due to synovitis, as well as Julián Palacios, who was absent from the starting lineup last weekend due to personal issues that limited his preparation during the week.

The changes Madelón is planning

In midfield, the coach’s concern is Franco Fragapane, who is going through a period of poor performance, and players like Nicolás Palavecino and Augusto Solari, who were unable to take advantage of their opportunity in Santiago del Estero.

The good news for Madelón is that there are no injured or suspended players, which will allow him to work with all available players in the days leading up to the match, aiming to regain defensive solidity and offensive effectiveness to lift Unión out of its current football slump and revive hopes of qualifying for the Professional League playoffs for the first time.
