Trio in the spotlight for Vitória de Guimarães v Sporting squad | OneFootball

Salvador Blopa, Flávio Gonçalves, and Rodrigo Ribeiro were called up by Rui Borges for the trip to Vitória de Guimarães’ home ground, which will take place this Tuesday, December 23rd, in a match valid for the 15th round of Liga Portugal Betclic.

To be part of the main squad’s delegation, the trio of forwards ended up missing out on Sporting’s B team in the derby against Benfica, in which João Gião’s side ended up losing 1-0, last Monday.

It’s worth noting that, over the past few weeks, the three young Sporting players have been working almost exclusively under Rui Borges’ guidance, due to the absences of Nuno Santos, Geovany Quenda, and Geny Catamo. Now, they have the chance to play against the team from Guimarães.

At the moment, the green and whites occupy second place in the National Championship table, with 35 points, but with one game less than the rest of the podium. Benfica are in third place, also with 35, while Porto leads the competition with 43 points.

The team will be back on the pitch next Tuesday, December 23rd, against Vitória de Guimarães. The match, counting for the 15th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side led by Luís Pinto, will be played at Estádio D. Afonso Henriques, at 8:45 pm.
