Blow between the sticks: Unión pick keepers, loan out Raschia | OneFootball

The “Mundo Unión” was hit hard after the severity of Federico Gomes Gerth’s injury was confirmed. Although the official statement is still pending, preliminary studies revealed a ligament tear that will sideline him for the rest of the year, leaving a significant vacancy in the professional squad.

Given this situation, the coaching staff must make adjustments ahead of the match against Independiente this Tuesday at 7:45 PM. All signs point to Lucas Meuli being the one to take a spot on the substitutes’ bench as an alternative to Matías Mansilla. Although Meuli did not get any minutes in the recent friendly against Sportivo Las Parejas due to a physical discomfort and trained separately, his recovery is progressing well and he is expected to be fit for the match at the Estadio Libertadores de América. Agustín Chávez is also under consideration, remaining an option for substitution if needed.

Departure in the position: Raschia heads South

Amidst these changes, a move in the youth transfer market has been confirmed. In the coming hours, young Mateo Raschia—who already has a professional contract with the club—will leave the institution to join Guillermo Brown of Puerto Madryn on loan, a team competing in the Torneo Federal A. The aim of this loan is for the goalkeeper to gain the playing time and experience needed to return stronger to Avenida López y Planes.

This move adds to that of Froilán Díaz, another of the club’s promising talents from the youth academy, who had already been loaned out earlier this year to Delfín of Ecuador. With these departures, “Tate” aims for its goalkeepers to gain the necessary experience in other leagues so they can return with greater maturity to the first team in the future.
