New Sporting signing gets injured, lay-off yet to be determined | OneFootball

Djibril Gueye had an unlucky start at Sporting B. Officially announced on Tuesday as a new signing for the green and whites, the 19-year-old centre-back suffered an injury in his very first training session under Tiago Fernandes and is now sidelined for the Lions.

According to Record, the physical issue has not yet been specified, but it is serious enough to place the young Senegalese player on the reserve team’s injury list. For now, Gueye is unfit and will miss preparations for the next fixture.

Sporting B face Feirense next Saturday at 3:30 pm away from home, in a match for the fifth round of the Segunda Liga. Tiago Fernandes will therefore be unable to count on the new signing during this initial phase of adapting to the group.

Gueye joined Sporting on loan from Leganés, in a deal that includes a purchase option set at €4 million. The club’s board see the centre-back as a player with room to develop in the B team and the potential to later move closer to the first-team setup.

Last season, the defender played mainly for Leganés’ reserve side, but he also made three appearances for the senior team: one in the Spanish Second Division and two in the Copa del Rey. It remains to be seen how serious the injury is and how long he will be out for.
