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 main concern for the coaching staff is Maizon Rodríguez’s physical condition. The forward was unable to take part in the opener due to a muscle issue, and his recovery will be closely monitored during the upcoming 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 leadership remains focused on resolving one of the most important current issues for the team: lifting the transfer bans that are preventing the new signings from being registered. The idea is to sort out the situation before the next match so Madelón can have more options available and approach 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 strong presence of youth players, Unión showed character and managed to earn a point on a tough ground. In addition, several footballers from the youth academy made their official debuts, confirming the club’s commitment to homegrown players 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, get back the players dealing with physical issues, and hope the club’s efforts reach a successful outcome. If the transfer bans are ultimately lifted, the coach could have all the new signings available for the first time for a demanding away match against Gimnasia de Mendoza, a game that looks like an important test for Tatengue’s ambitions in the Clausura.
