Nestory Irankunda is training, but still can't play for Sporting | OneFootball

Nestory Irankunda is still not bureaucratically cleared to be used by Sporting. The registration of the Australian forward with Liga Portugal still needs to be completed, an essential step for Rui Borges to be able to count on the new signing in official matches.

The process is, however, well on track and there is no cause for alarm. It is merely a normal formality in this type of operation, at a time when the green and whites are trying to get everything sorted out as quickly as possible.

While waiting for the final paperwork, Irankunda has already taken another step in his integration. The 20-year-old player held his first session on the pitch at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy with the rest of the group, after having done only specific work in the gym on the day following the victory against Vitória de Guimarães (3-2).

Sporting invested €15 million, plus €3 million in performance-related bonuses, to sign the Australian international from Watford. Rui Borges can now begin working more closely on the winger’s characteristics and understand how he may be able to use him.
