Rui Borges set to get good news about the Sporting squad | OneFootball

Ousmane Diomande, Maxi Araújo, and Hidemasa Morita are closer to recovering from their respective physical issues and will be reassessed next Tuesday, September 9th, at the Alcochete Academy. Rui Borges has been without the trio for a few matches.

According to the newspaper A Bola, of the three, only Ousmane Diomande is not expected to be fit to face Famalicão in Sporting's next match, already scheduled for Saturday, September 13th. The Ivorian central defender is close to returning but is not yet expected to be deemed fit to play.

Maxi Araújo and Hidemasa Morita are different cases. Regarding the Uruguayan winger, he himself revealed that he should be fit to play about 30 minutes against Famalicão, a number that will increase with each match the left-back plays for Sporting, in the position that has been occupied by Ricardo Mangas during his absence - which should continue until the South American is 100% recovered.

Hidemasa Morita did not have a serious problem, so he should also be very close to recovering from the muscular difficulties he suffered. In the case of the Japanese player, who did not travel to meet with his national team, it is more difficult to be certain, but it is possible that Kochorashvili will maintain the starting position, due to the greater competitive rhythm he currently brings.

Sporting enters, this Monday, the third of three days off granted to the green and white squad, by Rui Borges. The team returns to work tomorrow, and even with many internationals still in their national team camps, the coach will already know which of the injured players he can count on for the next match against Famalicão.
