Unión will resume work this Sunday morning at Casasol, after the draw with Platense, already focusing on the commitment next Thursday, the 29th, against Lanús, where Madelón's team will have to show a better version and leave behind the feelings from the first match.

The coaching staff has planned a training schedule with activities on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday starting at 8:30, while today, the squad had a day off, aiming to be in the best shape for the next commitment. In this regard, Leo Madelón knows there will be a lot of work ahead, especially in collective performance and intensity, aspects that did not fully appear against the Calamar.
The main news concerns Brahian Cuello, who will now be considered by the coaching staff. The forward trained Thursday morning with the group of players who were not in concentration, worked normally on Friday, and this weekend will fully join the squad, being available for the match against Granate. Another option for Madelón, who seeks offensive variants and greater depth in attack.
Regarding the transfer market, Mateo Del Blanco's situation enters a crucial week. With the transfer window closing this Tuesday, there are no concrete updates at the moment, although the club knows the coming days could be decisive in determining his future. Meanwhile, the player continues to work normally.

Meanwhile, the Reserve team gained minutes in a friendly played in two 40-minute halves, resulting in a 0-0 draw in the first and a 1-0 loss in the second. The team that started the match consisted of Mateo Raschia; Francisco Barinas, Ignacio Isla, Tomás Fagioli, and Lucas Ayala; Ignacio Pedano, Mateo Peresutti, Lucas Cacciabue, and Benjamín Pérez; Valentín Cerrudo and Ricardo Solbes.
During the match, Juan Ignacio Kuverling, David Fernández, Santiago Zenclussen, Santino Vera, Facundo Iacono, Juan Ignacio Peralta, Tomás Romero, Alan Sosa, and Leo De Olivera entered, in a session that allowed the coaching staff to observe alternatives and continue evaluating performances ahead of the official competition.
With Lanús on the horizon, Madelón will seek to fine-tune details, raise the football level, and find answers for the team to take a step forward, knowing that the margin is short and the tournament's demands require rapid improvement.
