Unión back in training after tough loss to Central Córdoba | OneFootball

Unión returned to training this Monday at Casasol, preparing for the match next Tuesday, October 21 at 19:15 against Defensa y Justicia, for the 13th round of Zone A in the Professional League Tournament.

Unión, Back in Action

The Santa Fe team is looking to regain ground after a short streak of four matches without wins — two consecutive draws and two losses — which pushed them down the standings and left their stay in the category and the possibility of qualifying for the playoffs for the first time since the Cup format was implemented in suspense.

The main news from the training was the recovery of Diego Armando Díaz, who was cleared after the imbalance suffered last week and the corresponding medical tests.

Díaz becomes an additional option for the attack, which could once again feature the duo of Marcelo Estigarribia and Cristian Tarragona.

Madelón continues to evaluate the situation of Marcelo Estigarribia, who played the entire second half against Central Córdoba after missing the match with Aldosivi due to synovitis, and also that of Julián Palacios, absent as a starter last weekend due to personal issues that limited his preparation during the week.

The Changes Madelón Plans

In midfield, the coach's concern is Franco Fragapane, who is experiencing a dip in performance, and players like Nicolás Palavecino and Augusto Solari, who failed to seize their opportunity in Santiago del Estero.

The good news for Madelón is that there are no injured or suspended players, which will allow him to work with all available players in the days leading up to the match, aiming to regain defensive solidity and offensive effectiveness to pull Unión out of the football slump they are in and revive the hope of qualifying for the Professional League playoffs for the first time.
