Breaking news! Rui Borges reveals 3 doubts for Sporting v Tondela | OneFootball

Ousmane Diomande, Daniel Bragança and Georgios Vagiannidis are doubts for Sporting - Tondela. The news was revealed by Rui Borges this Tuesday, at the press conference previewing the postponed match from the 26th round of Liga Portugal Betclic.

"Vagiannidis, Bragança and Diomande are doubtful. Nuno Santos returned to training with the team in the final session before AVS and we chose not to play him. He has been called up for tomorrow," explained the green-and-white coach.

When asked about the wave of injuries that has hit the Sporting squad this season, Rui Borges was clear: "It’s not normal, obviously. But there are things we can’t control. If there were a lot of muscle injuries, then we’d have to rethink what we’re doing. But there are things we can’t control and it’s normal to pay the price for so many injuries, by not being able to count on the players. There were some moments, with the League Cup and the Cup, when it was possible, but in decisive moments it wasn’t. We lost Fotis, Pote was also out. It’s not normal, but we can’t manage traumatic injuries. [There were also muscle injuries] Yes, but every team has those and probably even fewer than other clubs. As for traumatic injuries, we’ve had a lot and it affected us a great deal. I’m not going to stand here acting crazy and saying I’m the best and that it didn’t happen. But what I can say is that the lads gave everything."

Rui Borges Porto (82) are in first place (with one more game played). Benfica are second with 75, also having played one more match.

The green-and-white side return to action next Wednesday, April 29, against Tondela. The match, counting for matchday 26 (postponed) of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team coached by Gonçalo Feio, will be played at 8:15 pm at the José Alvalade Stadium.
