Ousmane Diomande handed great news at Sporting | OneFootball

Ousmane Diomande will be reassessed by Sporting's medical department and could start against Braga.

Ousmane Diomande is fully recovered and might be a new addition to Sporting's lineup against Braga. The center-back was called up for the match in Naples but was not used - which surprised Tomás da Cunha -, as he wasn't at 100%.

According to information from the newspaper A Bola, Diomande could have played in Naples but was limited to only a few minutes. Therefore, Rui Borges and Sporting's coaching staff decided not to field the 'number 26'.

It is very likely that he will be cleared for 90 minutes against the Minho team.

This season, wearing Sporting's jersey, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – has participated in two matches. The Ivory Coast international center-back started in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup, playing 68 minutes against Benfica, and also against Casa Pia, being on the field for 58 minutes before getting injured.

Sporting will return to the field next Sunday, October 5th, against Braga. The match, part of the eighth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Carlos Vicens, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade at 19:15.
