Madelón settles on Unión’s centre-back pairing for trip to Gimnasia | OneFootball

While the team seems to be in good spirits after their latest victory, Leonardo Madelón still has one question: who will partner Valentín Fascendini in the backline? He must choose between Maizon Rodríguez, now recovered from his injury, or stick with Juan Pablo Ludueña, who delivered an outstanding performance in the win against Racing.

Logically, the return of the Uruguayan seems most likely, considering his absence was due to a physical issue. However, Ludueña’s excellent performance has cast doubt on that idea and sparked an internal debate.

The squad trained this Wednesday at Casasol, where there was no formal football practice, although details in various areas are being fine-tuned. The coaching staff’s intention is to have everything decided by Friday, so that Saturday can be devoted exclusively to set pieces, before heading to La Plata to go into camp.

For now, no major changes are expected beyond the defense. With morale high, Unión will look to extend their good run on a pitch that’s always demanding, where every decision—especially in defense—can make the difference.
