There’s no time to relax at Unión, as they quickly turned the page after their match in Junín against Sarmiento and are now fully focused on Sunday’s clash with Instituto, for the 8th round of the Apertura. Is a possible rotation on the cards?
The squad returned and, after a brief rest at the training ground, resumed work on Friday morning with a recovery session. There, the coaching staff led by Leonardo Madelón assessed the physical condition of the players, especially Rafael Profini, who had to leave the last match with discomfort in his adductor.
According to reports, the midfielder has been dealing with this issue for some time and has even resorted to injections in order to be available, so it’s possible the coach may choose to rest him. In that context, Emiliano Giaccone and Lucas Menossi appear as possible alternatives who could make it into the starting lineup.
However, for now, everything remains uncertain. The strong collective performance in the last match means no one wants to be left out, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Madelón makes few changes, especially considering there will be a break afterward that will allow the team to recover energy.
The squad will train again on Saturday morning and will then travel to Córdoba, where they’ll remain in camp ahead of the match against Instituto, which will be played on Sunday at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes. With little time and several issues to resolve, the coach will have to decide on the lineup in the coming hours.
