Gomes Gerth set to start over Meuli against Defensor Sporting | OneFootball

Unión is already thinking about their second commitment in the Río de La Plata Series, and Leonardo Madelón is beginning to evaluate options. This Saturday, starting at 18:00, the Tate will face Defensor Sporting, and everything indicates that the coach will opt for an alternative lineup, after using a starting base in the debut against Alianza Lima.

In this scenario, one of the main doubts is the goalkeeper position. Although there is still no confirmation, Federico Gomes Gerth appears to have more chances of being the starter over Lucas Meuli.

The possible inclusion of Gomes Gerth not only responds to the logic of preseason rotation but could also serve as an indication of what Madelón thinks regarding the order of priorities behind Matías Mansilla, currently the undisputed owner of the position.

For now, these are just trials, in a context where the coaching staff seeks to evaluate alternatives and draw conclusions for the official competition. However, this step is still significant and could start to shape the role of each goalkeeper within the squad. The friendly against Defensor Sporting thus appears as a new opportunity to observe performances, make adjustments, and, in the case of the goalkeeper position, begin to clear up one of the uncertainties left by the start of the Río de La Plata Series.
