There’s no time to relax at Unión, who quickly turned the page after their match in Junín against Sarmiento and are now focusing all their attention on Sunday’s clash with Instituto, for the 8th round of the Apertura. Is a possible rotation on the cards?
The squad returned and, after a brief rest at the training ground, resumed work on Friday morning with a recovery session. There, the coaching staff led by Leonardo Madelón assessed the players’ physical condition, especially that of Rafael Profini, who had to leave the last match with discomfort in his adductor.
According to reports, the midfielder has been dealing with this issue for some time and has even resorted to injections to be available, so it’s possible that the coach may choose to rest him. In that context, Emiliano Giaccone and Lucas Menossi appear as possible alternatives who could break into the starting lineup.
However, for now, everything remains uncertain. The strong collective performance in the last match means nobody wants to be left out, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Madelón makes few changes, considering there will be a break afterwards that will allow the team to recover energy.
The squad will train again on Saturday morning and will then travel to Córdoba, where they’ll stay together ahead of the match against Instituto, which will take place on Sunday at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes. With little time and several issues to resolve, the coach will have to decide on the lineup in the coming hours.
