Maxi Araújo earns extra credit at Sporting, delights as key figure | OneFootball

Maxi Araújo is in great form after returning from injury. Sporting’s number 20 assisted Luis Suárez in Estoril and won the penalty in Naples, showing he’s come back in fine shape. However, it’s his attitude that is truly delighting Rui Borges.

According to information from the newspaper Record, the Sporting coach is very pleased with the commitment and determination Maxi has shown, especially after criticizing the team’s lack of ‘hunger’ during the visit to Estoril, in which he named the Uruguayan as “the best player.”

Therefore, despite competition from Ricardo Mangas and Matheus Reis, Maxi Araújo will start against Braga. For now, the left-footer owns Sporting’s left flank, even though the coach occasionally rotates the squad.

Sporting will only return to the pitch next Sunday, October 5th, against Braga. The match, part of the eighth round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Carlos Vicens, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade at 7:15 PM.
