Sporting starter could be sidelined for one to two weeks | OneFootball

Geny Catamo has already been absent from Sporting's squad for the trip to Famalicão and may now remain sidelined for another one or two weeks.

Geny Catamo is expected to be out of Sporting’s squad for a period of one to two weeks. After being left out of Rui Borges’ options for the trip to Famalicão, this will not be the only match the Mozambican international will miss.

The number 10 of the Alvalade club – with whom the Sporting management intends to renew – returned from the international break with a muscle injury, which caused him to be a last-minute absence for Rui Borges in the last matchday. However, according to the newspaper A Bola, the player is expected to return for the match against Estoril, on the 27th at Amoreira, or on October 1st in Naples, for the Champions League.

The same source also writes that Geny’s injury is not considered serious by the performance unit of the Alvalade club, but it does require normal care and a few more days of recovery, so he will not be joining the main squad’s training sessions.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Geny Catamo – valued at 15 million euros – has already played five matches, always as a starter. In the 341 minutes he has been on the pitch, the left-footer has not yet managed to score or provide an assist.

Sporting will return to the pitch on Thursday, September 18th, against Kairat Almaty. The match against the team led by Rafael Urazbakhtin, valid for the first round of the Champions League, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade and is scheduled to kick off at 8:00 p.m.
