Bruno Pittón nearly back in action, close to returning for Unión | OneFootball

In Unión, a positive piece of news emerges during the break: Bruno Pittón is in the final stretch of his recovery and is already working almost alongside the rest of the squad, which opens the door for him to start the 2026 preseason.

The left-back has left behind several months of rehabilitation following surgery for a torn cruciate ligament in one of his knees. His progress comes at a crucial time for Tate, just as Mateo Del Blanco might be leaving, and throughout the semester, no other left-back option has appeared.

The coaching staff's plan was for Fernando Díaz to emerge as an alternative in that position, but he ultimately did not convince Leonardo Madelón and did not gain any playing time. This lack of internal competition makes Pittón's recovery even more significant.

Nevertheless, Unión will continue to respect the timelines set by the medical department for him to be officially considered again. But, if no setbacks arise, everything indicates that Pittón will be ready to start 2026 integrated with the group, which is very good news for the coaching staff and a team that needs to strengthen that area of the field.
