After doubts, Rui Borges settles Sporting attack ahead of Estrela | OneFootball

Luis Suárez is expected to be Rui Borges’s choice to lead Sporting’s attack in their league opener against Estrela da Amadora. Barring any last-minute changes, the Colombian will start in Saturday’s visit to Reboleira.

Luis Suárez has been making up for lost time, and the Sporting setup believes he will be fully fit for the team’s first official match of the season.

The competition is, however, stronger than it was last season. Fotis Ioannidis has recovered from the physical issues that hampered him for several months and showed promising signs in the warm-up matches, while Rafael Nel scored goals and confirmed the progress he has shown in recent times.

Even so, Suárez remains ahead in the pecking order thanks to the performances he delivered in his debut season at Alvalade. The Colombia international scored 38 goals and provided seven assists in 53 matches, establishing himself as one of the Sporting team’s main figures and the first choice for the position for much of the season.
