Unión explain Alessio and Basabe absences for Liga Nacional 🏀 | OneFootball

The Club Atlético Unión has issued an official statement informing about two significant absences in their basketball squad ahead of the upcoming commitments in the National League.

The team will be without two key players for different reasons, as detailed in the club's letter.

Emiliano Basabe's Absence Due to Family Matters

Player Emiliano Basabe is not part of the delegation that traveled for the upcoming matches. The club reported that Basabe remained in the capital of Santa Fe due to "family matters," without providing further details.

Ignacio Alessio Suffers Relapse in Lumbar Injury

The other confirmed absence is that of the team's captain, Ignacio Alessio. The center suffered a relapse of his lumbar spine injury, which prevented him from traveling with the rest of the squad.

Unión's statement indicates that Alessio's recovery time is "uncertain," which is a concern for the coaching staff and the team's supporters. Unión will have to face its upcoming challenges in the National League with these two significant absences, reorganizing their rotation and game plan.
