Unión set to fly to Mendoza with good news and hope over signings | OneFootball

The team led by Leonardo Madelón held another training session on Tuesday morning at the Casas Unión grounds, with its focus on what will be its second match in the Liga Profesional Clausura Tournament. After making its debut with a draw last Friday against Platense, Tatengue is already setting its sights on next Saturday’s clash at 3:30 p.m. against Gimnasia in Mendoza.

Squad updates: one piece of good news and one of bad

The morning practice left mixed conclusions for the coaching staff regarding injuries:

Marcelo Estigarribia: The big news of the day. The forward, who had missed the debut and the preseason friendlies because of an ankle issue, trained alongside the group after showing favorable progress. If he continues like this, he will travel and be available to Madelón to get minutes against Mendoza’s Lobo.

Valentín Cerrudo: The bad news affects the young attack. After suffering a heavy blow in the match against Platense that caused a deep cut and required more than 10 stitches, both internally and externally, the player has still not been medically cleared. Since it is an area subject to a lot of physical contact, the medical staff’s decision is not to risk him, so he will stay in Santa Fe to recover ahead of the match against Lanús on matchday three.

Maizón Rodríguez: He is progressing well and has a chance of returning this weekend.

Bans and transfer market: a key day

On the institutional side, the board led by president Luis Spahn is working against the clock. According to statements made in recent hours, the board’s intention is to settle the outstanding debts this Wednesday in order to secure the definitive lifting of the bans with the AFA.

If this goes through, Madelón will be able to count on his five new faces in Mendoza: Luna Diale  Ramírez Malcorra Joaquín Mosqueira Juan de Dios Pintado LUruguayan right-back

In addition, the board confirmed that Unión remains active in the transfer market in search of a center-back, a left-back, a midfielder and, if the opportunity arises, another forward. Likewise, the arrival of a player currently active in European football whose identity has not yet been revealed is not ruled out.
