Great news for Sporting! Nuno Santos set for return to the pitch | OneFootball

Nuno Santos should return to the field as early as next week. The green and white left winger held a very important status within the Lions' team, but suffered a serious injury last season, and is still recovering from that issue.

Next Sunday, October 27th, it will be a year since Nuno Santos' injury - that is, it's already 365 days that the green and white winger has been unavailable to contribute to the team. Both the player and Rui Borges won't have to wait much longer for his return to competition.

The newspaper A Bola reveals that Sporting's Performance Unit is close to giving Nuno Santos the green light to return to the field, and to train without limitations. A big step for the left winger who, however, is behind his teammates.

Therefore, Nuno Santos will undergo a true preseason, already during the season. The player will have to gain physical fitness and competitive rhythm before becoming a viable option for Rui Borges, after another year away from the field, when he finally returns to play for Sporting.

Rui Borges should gradually integrate Nuno Santos into his choices. This is also excellent news for the Sporting coach who, almost two months before the winter transfer window, will soon receive the first reinforcement of the season, as the player has never played under the green and white coach.
