Unión hit by flu outbreak ahead of River clash | OneFootball

Several players from Unión suffered flu symptoms in the draw against Huracán, but they are now working normally and there would be no absences against River.

Unión is preparing for the big challenge this Thursday, when they face River at the Malvinas Argentinas stadium in Mendoza, for the quarterfinals of the Copa Argentina. The winner of the match will go in search of Racing, who has already made it to the semifinals.

A setback in the Unión squad

The lead-up was not without complications: in the 1-1 draw against Huracán, for the Clausura Tournament on April 15, several players from the red and white squad suffered from a flu condition that affected their performance.

Some even played with a few lines of fever, which impacted the collective level, which was evident in terms of very low performances compared to the previous performance against Instituto in Alta Córdoba.

As the days went by, the situation improved and tranquility returned to the Tatengue camp: all those affected recovered and are working alongside the group, so Leonardo Madelón will be able to count on his complete squad and will not have significant absences to visit the Millonario.

Madelón, will he repeat the team against River?

In this context, the coach is considering repeating the same lineup that played against Globo, with Matías Tagliamonte; Lautaro Vargas, Maizon Rodríguez, Valentín Fascendini and Mateo Del Blanco; Julián Palacios, Mauro Pittón, Mauricio Martínez and Franco Fragapane; Cristian Tarragona and Marcelo Estigarribia.

Unión arrives without excuses and with renewed energy to face a commitment that can mark a before and after in the season. The recovery of its players allows Madelón to dream of making a splash in Mendoza and getting into the top four of the Copa Argentina.
