Gomes Gerth set to start over Meuli against Defensor Sporting | OneFootball

Unión is already thinking about their second commitment in the Río de La Plata Series, and Leonardo Madelón is starting to evaluate options. This Saturday, from 6 PM, the Tate will face Defensor Sporting, and everything indicates that the coach will opt for an alternative lineup, after using a main squad in the debut against Alianza Lima.

In this scenario, one of the main uncertainties is the goalkeeper position. Although there is no confirmation yet, Federico Gomes Gerth appears to have a better chance of starting over Lucas Meuli.

The possible inclusion of Gomes Gerth not only follows the logic of preseason rotation but could also serve as an indication of what Madelón thinks regarding the order of priorities behind Matías Mansilla, currently the undisputed holder of the position.

For now, these are just trials, in a context where the coaching staff is looking to evaluate alternatives and draw conclusions ahead of the official competition. However, this step is still significant and could begin to outline the role of each goalkeeper within the squad. The friendly match against Defensor Sporting thus presents a new opportunity to observe performances, make adjustments, and, in the case of the goalkeeper position, start to clear up one of the uncertainties left by the start of the Río de La Plata Series.
