Sporting head to Bodø with four absentees, but surprises in the squad | OneFootball

The Sporting team is already at Lisbon airport and will depart this afternoon for Bodø, in Norway, where on Wednesday, March 11, they will play the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Bodø/Glimt.

The delegation is led by President Frederico Varandas and has some important absences. Fotis Ioannidis, Giorgi Kochorashvili, Ricardo Mangas, and Geovany Quenda did not travel with the team, all unavailable due to physical reasons.

On the other hand, Rui Borges decided to include the suspended Pedro Gonçalves and Maxi Araújo in the trip. Both are serving suspensions for this European match but are part of the delegation to remain integrated with the group during the trip to Norway.

It is worth noting that the green and whites trained this Monday morning at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy. However, on Tuesday, the Sporting team will train again under Rui Borges' guidance on the Aspmyra pitch at 5:00 PM. Before that, at 4:15 PM, the coach will give the usual pre-match press conference, along with a player.
