The 2-0 win over Nacional is now in the past at the Academy, and Sporting’s squad is already focused on the match against Galatasaray, for the opening round of the Champions League, which will be played on Wednesday at 8:00 pm at the José Alvalade Stadium.
. The midfielder is expected to be reintegrated into the squad this week, but should only return to competition in October, while the winger has no set date for his comeback.
The only player from this trio who could still recover isBa, who suffered a knock in the home match against Alverca and missed the game against Nacional. Depending on how the injury progresses, he could even be called up for Monday’s training session and be an option for the next fixture.
As usual after matches, the starters were limited to recovery work, while the remaining players trained on the pitch under Rui Borges’ guidance. On Monday, the Sporting coaching staff will begin planning the strategy to get off to a winning start in the lucrative competition.
. The four-time Turkish champions confirmed the African forward’s diagnosis this Sunday, and the country’s press reports that he is expected to be sidelined for around three weeks.
