Unión eye Barracas Central with several doubts for various reasons | OneFootball

The Unión squad resumed training at Casasol, and Leo Madelón is closely monitoring three key players ahead of the match against Barracas Central.

After the valuable victory in Rosario against Newell’s, Unión resumed training this Monday at the Casasol facility, focusing on the upcoming match against Barracas Central, which will take place on Saturday at 9:30 PM at the 15 de Abril stadium, for the 15th matchday of Zone A of the Torneo Clausura.

The team led by Leonardo Madelón is going through a crucial week. With the three points obtained against the Lepra, the Tatengue is fully in the fight for qualification to the round of 16, and they reach the decisive stage of the tournament with confidence and intact hope.

However, not everything is calm in the red-and-white camp. The coaching staff raised concerns about the physical condition of Cristian Tarragona, Lautaro Vargas, and Marcelo Estigarribia, who ended the match at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa with various discomforts.

Three players under observation

Tarragona and Vargas requested a substitution during the second half due to muscle pain and will be evaluated in the coming hours by the medical team. Additionally, the right-back remains at risk due to accumulating four yellow cards, so one more booking would leave him out of the final match against Belgrano in Córdoba.

Meanwhile, Marcelo Estigarribia raised concerns by finishing the match with a knee discomfort. The forward could not be substituted because Unión had already made the five allowed changes and had to remain on the field until the end of the game. His progress will be closely monitored during the week to determine if he will be available against the Guapo.

A decisive week of work

Madelón plans a week of work focused on physical recovery and tactical preparation to face Barracas Central, a consistently challenging opponent with a good current form. The aim will be to maintain the performance shown in Rosario, where they won with authority and took a key step in the fight for the qualification spots.

The squad will train again this Tuesday morning at Casasol, where it is expected that players with discomfort will perform differentiated tasks. The coach will wait until the end of the week to finalize the list of called-up players and assess whether he can repeat the lineup that won at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa.

With the focus on the visit to Belgrano at the Gigante de Alberdi, Unión knows that earning points at home against Barracas Central can be decisive. The team depends on itself and seeks to finish the Clausura among the top eight, in a tournament finale where every point starts to count as a final.
