Pote’s condition in training causes concern at Sporting | OneFootball

Pedro Gonçalves showed up this Tuesday at Jamor wearing protection on his left leg, a situation that drew some attention during the start of Sporting’s preparations for the Portuguese Cup final against Torreense.

The use of the protection was seen as a preventive measure linked to a possible recent physical issue, potentially picked up in the match against Gil Vicente in the final round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. Even so, the ‘number 8’ took part in the training session led by Rui Borges.

Moreover, it is worth recalling that the main talking point from this morning’s training session was the absence of Morten Hjulmand. The Lions’ captain, who started the last match, stayed at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy as a precaution, not joining the rest of the group at the National Stadium.

The green-and-white side will be back in action next Sunday, May 24, against Torreense. The match, valid for the Portuguese Cup final against the team coached by Luís Tralhão, is scheduled to kick off at 5:15 pm at Jamor.

This season, playing for Sporting, Pedro Gonçalves - valued at €30 million - has made 40 appearances. In 2,817 minutes played, the footballer, who is tied down with an €80 million release clause until 2030, has already scored 15 goals and provided nine assists.
