Partner of injured Sporting man speaks out: best is yet to come | OneFootball

Nuno Santos stepped onto the pitch at Estádio José Alvalade once again during the official presentation of Sporting’s squad, ahead of the 2-0 win over Monaco in the Troféu Cinco Violinos. Despite being welcomed by the fans, the winger is still unable to contribute on the pitch, as he remains injured.

The 31-year-old player is still recovering from muscular issues that arose after overcoming the serious patellar tendon injury in his right knee. Over the last two seasons, he has made only 18 official appearances due to repeated physical setbacks.

While awaiting a full recovery, the winger is following a specific training plan and remains apart from unrestricted training with the rest of the squad. The goal is to regain peak physical condition so he can once again be an option for Rui Borges during the season.

In addition to Nuno Santos, the Sporting coach is still unable to count on João Simões, who is recovering from surgery to the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, as well as Ibrahima Ba, who also remains under the care of the medical department, along with Bruno Ramos.
