Vargas walking a tightrope at Unión ahead of Newell’s clash | OneFootball

For Unión, the match next Friday at the Marcelo Bielsa against Newell’s, starting at 21:15, for the 14th round of zone A of the Clausura will have several stories at play. One of the most important will not be on the standings or in the set pieces: it will be Lautaro Vargas, who faces the match with a well-defined limit.

The Tate's full-back reached four yellow cards against Defensa y Justicia and, if he receives another, he will miss the next game against Barracas Central in Santa Fe, still without a scheduled date.

For the team, Vargas is not a minor detail. His presence provides balance in defense and a clear exit down the flank, and losing him would be a blow to the coach’s planning and the rest of the squad. Therefore, in Rosario, while the Tate seeks to earn points to stay in the playoff zone, there will be special care towards their right-back: it will be, literally, a match within the match.

This Friday’s duel will not only measure results: it will also test Unión's strategy, Vargas's self-control, and the team's ability to manage their resources to the limit, in a campaign where every point and every player count.
