Leonino exclusive confirmed: Sporting set new challenge for Alisson Santos | OneFootball

Leonino Exclusive Confirmed: Alisson Santos will take advantage of Pedro Gonçalves' injury to prove himself to Rui Borges. Since the main player for the lions is expected to be out for the next three games, the coach has already decided that the Brazilian will have his chance.

According to the Record newspaper, the player who arrived from Leiria in the last transfer window will be Rui Borges' choice for the match against Marinhense, but not only that: the Brazilian winger is also expected to start against Club Brugge.

The same source reports that the Sporting coach is pleased with Alisson's progress and, therefore, has full confidence in giving him this new opportunity in the main team of the lions. Besides that, depending on how the Brazilian performs this month, the club's management will reassess the type of winger to pursue in the winter market.

Alisson Santos – valued at 2.5 million euros – joined Sporting this season, coming from Leiria. In the 15 matches where he was an option for Rui Borges (nine in the Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the League Cup), the 23-year-old Brazilian scored two goals and made two assists.

The green and white team will return to the field only on Saturday, November 22, against Marinhense. The match, counting for the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team from Marinha Grande, will be played at 18:00 in Alvalade.
