Rayan Lucas over the moon, Rui Borges brings big news for Sporting | OneFootball

Rayan Lucas has arrived at Sporting, on a loan valid until the end of the season, and receives news from Rui Borges

Rayan Lucas, just 20 years old, was the big surprise in Sporting's call-up for the Classic with Porto, this Saturday, August 30, at Alvalade, in the fourth round of the League. The young Brazilian footballer takes the place of Hidemasa Morita, sidelined due to injury.

It's worth remembering that the footballer, who has been playing for Sporting's B team, survived a real tragedy in Brazil. In 2019, strong flames consumed the Ninho do Urubu, Flamengo's training center. The 'mengão' would lose 10 youth athletes. The footballer was one of the five young people who survived the catastrophe.

Rayan Lucas is now in good form and was called up to represent Brazil's U-20 team. After arriving at the lions, he earned the trust of coach Ramon Menezes, in the games that aim to prepare for the World Cup of the category that will be held in Chile, between September 27 and October 19.

It's worth remembering that Rayan Lucas arrived at Alvalade Club, on a loan valid until the end of the season. Despite having started pre-season training with the main squad, under the command of Rui Borges, the Brazilian has been an option in João Gião's choices.

At the start of this season, Rayan Lucas has already played three matches for Sporting's B team, always as a starter. The 20-year-old defensive midfielder played 90 minutes against Torreense, 77’ against União de Leiria and 70’ against Oliveirense, in what was the lions' first defeat.
