Eduardo Quaresma taken ill, Sporting staff left concerned | OneFootball

Eduardo Quaresma was started as a regular in the visit to Naples. Despite Sporting's defeat (2-1), the center-back performed well, but caused concern among the Sporting officials by requesting to be substituted forcibly, as he was not in the best physical condition.

This season, Quaresma had only played 91 minutes - being a full-time player with Kairat - so starting in a game of such physical intensity left the center-back somewhat unsettled. At the 67th minute, the 'number 72' fell with cramps and was substituted by Zeno Debast.

Upon returning to Portugal, Sporting's medical department will evaluate Eduardo Quaresma, but for now, there is no indication of a muscular problem. The center-back only felt the lack of regular minutes and should be fit for the next match.

Sporting will return to the field only next Sunday, October 5th, against Braga. The match, counting for the eighth round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Carlos Vicens, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade, at 7:15 PM.
