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

On Tuesday, October 7, Sporting shared a video of the new recovery stage of Daniel Bragança through their social media. The Alvalade Club made sure to show several images of the 26-year-old midfielder working on the pitch and doing conditioned running, which turns out to be good news.

"Another stage completed, towards the recovery of Daniel Bragança", is the message chosen by the green and whites to accompany the video, in which one detail stands out: the scar on the 'jersey 23's' knee, which he acquired after undergoing surgical intervention.

Daniel Bragança does not yet have a certain return date, but it is certain that the left-footer will only be an option for Rui Borges in 2026, still being weakened due to a total rupture of the cruciate ligament in his left knee.

The player suffered the second serious injury of his career on February 15, 2025, in Sporting's reception to Arouca (2-2). Bragança is already doing some work on the pitch and light running exercises. However, Sporting officials do not want a hasty return of the midfielder, so the footballer trained at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy will only return when there is certainty of a low probability of a relapse.

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