Injured player back in Rui Borges's Sporting plans after 3 months | OneFootball

Sporting’s 2-0 victory over Monaco in the Troféu Cinco Violinos was marked not only by the result, but also by Iván Fresneda’s return to action. The right-back was used again by Rui Borges, more than three months after his last appearance.

The Spain Under-21 international had not taken part in an official or friendly match since April 11, when he started in the win over Estrela da Amadora (1-0). An injury ended up ruling him out of the remaining warm-up matches, leaving the position in the hands of Georgios Vagiannidis and Eduardo Quaresma during that period.

Against the Monégasque side, he was back on the pitch and was brought on by Rui Borges in the 74th minute, at a stage when the team was already looking to manage its lead. The return is good news for the Sporting coach, who once again has an option he considers important for the right side of the defense.

. Signed from Real Valladolid for nine million euros, the wide player is under contract until 2028 and has a release clause set at 80 million euros.

Iván Fresneda - valued at 15 million euros - played 39 matches in a Sporting shirt this season: 23 in Liga Portugal, 10 in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Super Cup. .
