Heads up, Sporting: fresh updates on Fotis Ioannidis’ injury comeback | OneFootball

Fotis Ioannidis is focused on his recovery period and, after a few days, the player is feeling more optimistic about the possibility of being fit in time for the Benfica - Sporting match, which will take place on December 5th at Estádio da Luz.

The Greek international is recovering from a ligament injury in his right knee, which he sustained in the Lions’ last match against Santa Clara. The initial estimated recovery time was between four to six weeks, but the striker is working hard to return even sooner.

According to the newspaper A Bola, Ioannidis is aware of the importance of an eternal derby for the fans and for the Club, which is why he intends to be fit in time to help Rui Borges’ team at Luz. For now, the recovery process is going well, but there is still no fixed date for his return.

Despite all the player’s intentions, Sporting will only allow him to train with the rest of the team once he gets the green light from the Performance Unit, to avoid any risk of aggravation or relapse.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Fotis Ioannidis – valued at 22 million euros – has played 13 matches. The 25-year-old Greek international striker has played 563 minutes, during which he has already scored four goals and provided three assists in the green and white stripes.
