Borja Sainz returns, another boost for the Azores 💪 | OneFootball

After serving a one-match suspension for accumulating five yellow cards in the championship, Borja Sainz is back among the options for Francesco Farioli. His return is expected in the Azores, against Santa Clara, where it is likely he will take a spot in the starting eleven.

Currently experiencing an excellent individual moment – with the two goals scored against Alverca still fresh -, Borja Sainz has an easy path to join the dragons' lineup. On the other hand, William Gomes is expected to return to the bench.

It is important to highlight that Borja Sainz is one of the most trusted players of Francesco Farioli. Before the suspension, the Spaniard was the only member of the squad who had participated in all 25 official matches of the dragons in the 2025/26 season – only the card that resulted in the penalty prevented him from maintaining that streak.
