Updates on Ioannidis and Debast ahead of Porto v Sporting | OneFootball

The clinical report of Sporting shows signs of improvement, although there are still doubts about the availability of two players for the classic match against Porto. The players in question are Zeno Debast and Fotis Ioannidis, with the next few hours being of utmost importance for both cases.

According to information revealed by the newspaper A Bola, it is almost certain that the Greek forward, sidelined since January 6, will not be fit for the match, with only a remote possibility of recovery in time. On the other hand, the return of the Belgian central defender seems more plausible, although not yet definitively confirmed.

Out of Rui Borges' options, unless there is any last-minute change, is Geovany Quenda. The winger is continuing the recovery process from a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, monitored by Chelsea, and should only return to options in March.

After 20 matches played, the team led by Rui Borges now has 51 points and remains in second place in the Liga Portugal Betclic standings. Porto has 55 and is in first place. Meanwhile, Benfica is third with 46.

The green and white team will return to the field next Monday, February 9, also against Porto. The match, part of the 21st round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Francesco Farioli, will be played at Estádio do Dragão at 8:45 PM.
