Unión to use the break to get two key players back to full fitness | OneFootball

The break for the double round of South American Qualifiers will be a timely respite for Unión, which arrives with solid performance but with some players experiencing physical discomfort.

Uruguayan defender Maizon Rodríguez, who suffered a severe ankle sprain in the round of 16 match of the Argentine Cup, was unable to play against Racing, while Mauricio Martínez had to be replaced due to a muscular issue. The break will allow the coaching staff to work on the physical and medical recovery of both players, who are crucial for the team's formation.

The next commitment for Tatengue will be on Sunday, September 14, at 3 PM, against Gimnasia in La Plata, a key match in the fight to escape the relegation zone. Although the break interrupts the positive streak the team was showing, it also provides an opportunity to refine tactical and strategic aspects under the guidance of Leonardo Madelón.

Currently, Unión is not only fighting to stay in the league, but it is also in positions that would allow it to reach the round of 16 of the Clausura, and if it maintains a good accumulation of points, it could dream of a place in the Copa Sudamericana.

For Madelón, the task will be to take advantage of these days to recover the squad, correct football details, and maintain the confidence of a team that has shown the ability to compete against high-level rivals in the Professional League.
