One detail stands out in Daniel Bragança’s recovery at Sporting (video) | OneFootball

Sporting shared, last Tuesday, October 7th, a video showing the new stage of Daniel Bragança’s recovery through its social media channels. The Alvalade club made a point of showing several images of the 26-year-old midfielder working on the pitch and doing controlled running, which ends up being good news.

“One more stage completed, on the road to Daniel Bragança’s recovery” is the message chosen by the green and whites to accompany the video, in which one detail stands out: the scar on the knee of the ‘number 23’, acquired after he underwent surgery.

Daniel Bragança still does not have a set return date, but it is certain that the left-footer will only be available for Rui Borges in 2026, as he is still debilitated due to a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

The player suffered the second serious injury of his career on February 15, 2025, during Sporting’s home game against Arouca (2-2). Bragança is already doing some work on the pitch and light running exercises. However, Sporting’s management does not want a rushed return for the midfielder, so the player, who came up through the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, will only return when there is certainty of a low risk of relapse.

In 2024/25, wearing the Sporting shirt, Daniel Bragança – valued at 12 million euros – played 29 matches: 18 in Liga Portugal Betclic, eight in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the Super Cup. In the 1,590 minutes played, he scored four goals and provided nine assists.
