Daniel Bragança was the main highlight of Sporting B - Académico de Viseu, which the lions ended up losing, 2-1. Despite the defeat, the midfielder's return to competition brought good news to Rui Borges after the match had been played.
According to the newspaper Record, the 'number 23' of the main squad of the green and whites did not report any complaints at the end of the match, which brings him closer to his return to the A team. After a total of 323 days away from competition, Bragança is back, and no one was indifferent. Besides the presence of several senior squad teammates in the stands, João Gião also praised the player.
"Daniel came in very well, with the level he has and with total commitment to the team and the club, even when stepping down to the B team. As I said, he came in very well and with moments of great class," highlighted the coach of Sporting's secondary team.
It is worth remembering that Bragança was recovering from a right knee injury since February 15, 2025 - the day he suffered this injury against Arouca. The Sporting midfielder began a long rehabilitation process, which only ended on December 8, when he was reintegrated into the rest of the group.
In 2024/25, wearing the Sporting jersey, Daniel Bragança – valued at 10 million euros – played 29 matches: 18 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, eight in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the Super Cup. In the 1,590 minutes played, he scored four goals and made nine assists.
