Unión eye Gimnasia de Mendoza, await returns and new signings | OneFootball

After the 2-2 draw against Platense in the Torneo Clausura opener, Unión has already turned the page and begun preparing for next Saturday’s match, when they will visit Gimnasia de Mendoza at 3:30 p.m. for the second round of the tournament. Leonardo Madelón will have a full week of work to fine-tune details and clear up several doubts ahead of a match that could set the tone for the team at the start of the competition.

Beyond the footballing side, the coaching staff’s main concern is Maizon Rodríguez’s physical recovery. The forward was unable to take part in the opener because of a muscle issue, and his progress will be closely monitored in the coming training sessions. So far, the club has not released an official medical report, so his availability for Mendoza will depend on how he responds during the week’s work.

At the same time, the club’s board remains focused on resolving one of the most important issues currently facing the team: lifting the transfer bans that are preventing the new signings from being registered. The aim is to sort out the situation before the next match so Madelón can have more options and face the game with a deeper squad. Negotiations are still ongoing, and there is optimism that a solution can be reached in the coming days.

The opener left some positive signs for the coach. Despite the difficulties and fielding a team with a significant number of young players, Unión showed character and managed to earn a point on a tough ground. In addition, several academy players made their official debuts, reaffirming the club’s commitment to homegrown talent while the administrative issues are being resolved.

With several days of work ahead, Madelón will look to build on the good feelings left by the draw against Platense, recover the players dealing with physical issues, and hope the board’s efforts come to a successful conclusion. If the transfer bans are finally lifted, the coach could have all the new signings available for the first time for a demanding trip to Gimnasia de Mendoza, a match that is shaping up to be an important test for Tatengue’s ambitions in the Clausura.
