Unión set to fly to Mendoza with good news and hopes for new signings | OneFootball

The team led by Leonardo Madelón carried out another training session this Tuesday morning at the Casas Unión complex, with its sights set on what will be its second match in the Liga Profesional Clausura Tournament. After opening with a draw last Friday against Platense, the Tatengue is already fully focused on next Saturday’s clash at 3:30 p.m. against Gimnasia in Mendoza.

Squad updates: one good and one bad

The morning practice left the coaching staff with mixed news on the injury front:

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

Valentín Cerrudo: The bad news affects the young forward line. After suffering a heavy blow in the match against Platense that caused a deep cut and required more than 10 stitches on the inside and outside area, the player has still not been medically cleared. Since it is a high-contact area, the medical staff has decided not to take any risks, so he will remain in Santa Fe recovering ahead of the clash against Lanús on matchday three.

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

Transfer ban 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 intention of the club’s leadership is to settle the outstanding debts this Wednesday in order to secure the definitive lifting of the AFA-imposed transfer ban.

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.
