Talleres gear up for Unión: two returns and one enforced absence | OneFootball

Talleres began preparing for their next Torneo Clausura match, in which they will host Unión de Santa Fe this Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium, in the ninth round of Zone A. The Córdoba side is coming off a 1-0 loss to San Lorenzo and will have the chance to bounce back against El Tatengue.

Coach Omar De Felippe will have one confirmed absence for this match: Matías Galarza will not be available after being sent off against San Lorenzo. The midfielder received his second yellow card 12 minutes into the second half and will have to serve the corresponding suspension.

However, the outlook also brings several positive pieces of news for the coaching staff. Federico Fattori has recovered from the injury he suffered to his left foot and will be available again after missing the matches against Central Córdoba and San Lorenzo.

In addition, Mateo Cáceres has put behind him a shoulder injury that had forced him to undergo surgery after Talleres’ elimination from the Copa Argentina against Atlético Tucumán. The defender can once again be considered by De Felippe.

Another update concerns Román Daniel Riquelme, who has completed the three-match suspension he received after his sending-off against Gimnasia de Mendoza. As a result, the player will once again be at the coach’s disposal.

Added to these options is Diego Valoyes, who has already recovered from a serious injury to his left knee. The Colombian was close to getting his first minutes against San Lorenzo, although Galarza’s sending-off changed the plans and he ultimately did not come on.

In midfield, Juan Sforza appears as one of the options to fill the spot left by Galarza. The midfielder has returned to training with the first team and started against San Lorenzo after having fallen out of favor during Jorge Sampaoli’s spell.

The match against Unión will also be De Felippe’s first home game in charge of Talleres. The coach took over after Sampaoli’s departure and will be looking for his first win to start lifting a team that needs points in the Clausura.

After the clash against El Tatengue, Talleres will have two special fixtures ahead: the derbies against Instituto and Belgrano. That is why the match against Unión looks like an important opportunity to regain confidence and arrive in the best possible shape for that stretch.
