Gorosito's side to host Unión: five changes for San Lorenzo | OneFootball

Néstor Gorosito once again tested, for the second consecutive day, the same San Lorenzo lineup he has in mind for Saturday’s home match against Unión on the fifth matchday of the Clausura Tournament. The coach is preparing five changes compared to the team that lost the clásico against Huracán.

Among the changes, two are forced. José Devecchi will come in for Orlando Gill, who was sent off against Huracán and must serve a one-match suspension. In addition, Matías Reali will replace Facundo Gulli, who has been ruled out with a strain in his right hamstring.

The other three changes are due to a tactical decision by the coach. Teo Rodríguez Pagano will play at left back instead of Mathias De Ritis, Juan Pablo Álvarez will join the midfield in place of Alejo Córdoba, and Ignacio Perruzzi will return to the starting lineup in place of Martín Río.

Gorosito will also keep the four-man defense after having used a five-man back line in the clásico against El Globo. The coach will have one final training session this Friday, where he will finish defining the team and mainly work on set pieces.

If there are no further changes, San Lorenzo would line up with José Devecchi; Ezequiel Blanco, Jhohan Romaña, Gastón Hernández and Teo Rodríguez Pagano; Juan Pablo Álvarez, Elián Irala and Gonzalo Tripichio; Ignacio Perruzzi and Matías Reali; Alexis Cuello and Rodrigo Auzmendi.

The match against Unión will be an important test for Gorosito, whose start to his tenure has come under pressure after three defeats in the first four Clausura matchdays and elimination from the Copa Argentina.
