Rayan Lucas has impressed Rui Borges in these first months of work at Sporting, Leonino knows. The player arrived in Alcochete to develop and grow in the Club of Alvalade's B team, but the good indications given may earn him a debut for the A team in the near future.

According to our newspaper, initially, the player's destination was to mainly play for the B team, led by João Gião, but given the athlete's performance and dedication in training sessions, Rui Borges is considering giving the footballer a chance.

At the end of last August, Rui Borges himself emphasized that the initial plan had not changed and that the player would remain in the secondary green and white team. However, the scenario may change in the coming weeks, also due to the wave of injuries that is once again affecting the squad.

Although he has not yet debuted for the A team, the 20-year-old player has already been called up for two matches (Porto and Famalicão), in addition to being called up for Brazil's under-20 team. The midfielder, it should be noted, arrived on loan from Flamengo until the end of the current season, as he had no space in the midfield of the team led by Luís Filipe.

At the start of this season, Rayan Lucas has always been in the starting position. The 20-year-old defensive midfielder played 90 minutes against Torreense, 77’ against União de Leiria, 70’ against Oliveirense, and 68' with Paços de Ferreira.
