Unión dilemma v Lanús: Estigarribia in, unless Luna Diale deal is done | OneFootball

Unión is putting the finishing tactical touches on its home debut in the Clausura Tournament. Ahead of the crucial match against Lanús at the 15 de Abril stadium, the coaching staff already has in mind the starting lineup that will take the field, which will feature two forced changes from the last outing.

Changes to the starting setup

The coach decided to make adjustments to the team and will introduce one change per line. In defense, Maizon Rodríguez will come in for Tomás Fagioli, seeking greater solidity in central defense. Meanwhile, the attack will also be reshaped with the inclusion of Marcelo Estigarribia in place of Misael Aguirre, banking on a new attacking duo.

Barring any last-minute surprises, Tatengue’s lineup will be: Mansilla; Vargas, Maizon, Ludueña, Ayala; Palacios, Menossi, Mosqueira, Malcorra; Estigarribia and Tarragona.

The Luna Diale question mark: hoping for a miracle

The biggest storyline in recent hours revolves around Mauro Luna Diale. The Santa Fe club’s board is working intensely to resolve his situation, although the administrative outlook is very complex and difficult due to bureaucratic timing.

The appeal filed by the red-and-white club with FIFA is based on the player’s labor rights to be able to play, since the conflict affecting him is not the fault of Unión or Luna Diale. According to reports, the world football governing body has given Tate the green light, which is why expectations are growing that clearance will arrive in the coming hours.

If a miracle happens and the transfer clearance reaches the club’s offices before the match, the player will be immediately included in the starting eleven. In that hypothetical scenario, Luna Diale would go straight into the attack as a starter in place of Estigarribia. Otherwise, the forward will have to watch the match from the sidelines and wait until the next round.
