Long, decisive week: Unión train for a 'final' in Liniers | OneFootball

Unión returns to training this Tuesday with the aim of bouncing back after the blow against Newell’s and keeping its chances of finishing among the top eight alive. Madelón’s team went in just a few rounds from being one of the best in the tournament to being full of doubts with two matches left.

El Tatengue will begin a long work week, with training sessions at Casasol until Sunday, the day it will travel to Buenos Aires to stay together ahead of the match against Vélez on Monday the 27th in Liniers. The situation is not very favorable, the standings have tightened at the top and Unión now depends on itself to qualify.

The only confirmed absence is Marcelo Estigarribia, who picked up his fifth yellow card and will not be available. The forward had been in good form and scoring goals, so his absence forces changes in a team that practically has no backup options. His place could be taken by Agustín Colazo.

In principle, Madelón would bet on keeping the core of the team, with his “usual starting eleven,” which comes in battered, with two straight defeats and no margin for error. What once seemed to be on track has now turned into an uncertain finish heading into the close of the tournament
