Geny Catamo rings alarm bells at Sporting and could be a new problem | OneFootball

Sporting’s 2-2 draw against Tondela left Rui Borges with another problem to manage, as Geny Catamo came off complaining after the match played last Wednesday, April 29, at the José Alvalade Stadium, in the 26th round of the league.

The Mozambican wing-back had a difficult night physically. As early as the first half (in the 14th minute), he twisted his left foot on his own and stayed on the pitch for a few moments in pain. Even so, he continued playing, but never looked completely comfortable. In the second half, in the 59th minute, he missed a clear chance in the box while through on goal, immediately receiving support from Luis Suárez.

The most worrying moment came near the end, in the 85th minute, when Catamo was fouled by Rodrigo Conceição and grabbed his left ankle. He eventually left the field limping, making way for Nuno Santos, who returned to competition after 38 days out due to a muscle injury in his left thigh, a substitution that was, moreover, warmly applauded by the fans at Alvalade.

Geny Catamo’s physical condition is now in doubt at a critical stage of the season, further increasing concerns over Sporting’s already limited range of options at this point in the campaign, with several injured players who will not return to the squad.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Geny Catamo - valued at €20 million - has made 43 appearances: 26 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 11 in the Champions League, five in the Portuguese Cup and one in the Super Cup. In the 2,884 minutes he has been on the pitch, he has scored eight goals and provided four assists.
