Rui Borges gave, this Friday, February 20th, a preview of Sporting's match against Moreirense. The coach of the green and whites was questioned about Zeno Debast's physical condition and ended up admitting that the Belgian will likely be sidelined for another one or two weeks.

"Zeno [Debast] is undergoing his own rehabilitation, to feel 100% recovered from his injury. Another one or two weeks, I’m not sure exactly. He’s close to being back at 100% physically," said the coach of the green and whites, who also shared some news about Fotis Ioannidis.

This season, Zeno Debast—valued at 30 million euros—has played 15 official matches wearing the Sporting shirt. The Belgian international has, so far, accumulated 872 minutes of play, but is yet to score a goal or provide an assist.

At this stage, after 22 matches played, the team led by Rui Borges has 55 points and sits in second place in the Liga Portugal Betclic standings. Porto (59) is in first place. Meanwhile, Benfica is third, with 52.
