Unión's dilemma v Lanús: Estigarribia starts, unless Luna Diale is cleared | OneFootball

Unión is putting the finishing tactical touches in place for its home debut in the Clausura Tournament. Ahead of the crucial clash 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 compared to the last outing.

Changes to the starting setup

The coach decided to shake up the team and will make 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 refreshed with the inclusion of Marcelo Estigarribia in place of Misael Aguirre, banking on a new attacking partnership.

Barring any last-minute surprises, the Tatengue 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 big story of the last few 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 because of bureaucratic delays.

The appeal the red-and-white club filed with FIFA is based on the player’s Labor Law right to work, since the conflict affecting him is not the fault of Unión, nor of Luna Diale. According to reports, the Tate has received the green light from world football’s governing body, 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.
