Ibrahima Ba and Zeno Debast are once again fully integrated into the Sporting squad. The two centre-backs trained without any limitations this Tuesday and are now closer to being among Rui Borges’ options for the home match against Vitória de Guimarães.

As had been anticipated this morning, the pair were reintegrated when the Lions returned to training after a day off. Sporting are now preparing for the second round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, scheduled for Friday (14/08) at Alvalade. The images also show Daniel Bragança and Pote back training with the rest of the squad.

Ibrahima Ba had been following a specific muscle recovery plan after the knee operation he underwent while still playing for Famalicão. The Sporting signing has yet to make any official appearance for the green and whites.

Debast, meanwhile, was looking to finally overcome a muscle issue that had already hampered him before the World Cup. The Belgium international was included in the national team squad, but ultimately did not play a single minute in the tournament.

The departure of Ousmane Diomande was also made official. The Sporting squad return to training this Wednesday, once again behind closed doors, as preparations continue for the clash with Vitória de Guimarães.
