Confirmed! Key absences for Sporting ahead of PSG clash | OneFootball

The last training session of Sporting before the European clash brought negative news for Rui Borges, confirming that Pote and Ousmane Diomande will not be fit to face Paris Saint-Germain. The two key figures of the squad were absent from the training session held this morning, leaving the team without its main playmaker and one of the most solid pieces of the defensive line.

Besides these names, the medical report of the team continues to be a headache, with Ioannidis, Salvador Blopa, Nuno Santos, Eduardo Quaresma, and Geovany Quenda also in the hands of the medical department. In total, there are seven injured players who will not be able to contribute at Alvalade.

In terms of non-clinical unavailability, the situation becomes even more complex with the absence of Luís Guilherme, since the January signings cannot participate in these last rounds of the league phase. Adding to this regulatory impediment is the suspension of Morten Hjulmand, who received the third yellow card in the match against Bayern Munich and will have to serve a one-match suspension.

Despite the setbacks, there are positive notes upon returning to work, with Daniel Bragança, Zeno Debast, and Ricardo Mangas already fully integrated and at Rui Borges's disposal. To fill the numerous gaps left by the significant absences, the coach called up young players Eduardo Felicíssimo, Mauro Couto, and David Moreira, who trained with the main group.

The green and white emblem will return to the field next Tuesday, January 20th, against Paris Saint-Germain. The match, part of the seventh round of the Champions League, against the team led by Luis Enrique, will be played at 8:00 PM, at Alvalade.

On the other hand, Souleymane Faye has already arrived in Lisbon to reinforce the team:
