Rui Borges brings four fresh faces to the Sporting squad | OneFootball

The Sporting delegation traveled for training camp before facing Tondela with four new faces in Rui Borges’ squad selection – who is expected to make changes to the starting eleven. Diego Callai (goalkeeper), João Muniz (center-back), Rayan Lucas (midfielder), and Rodrigo Ribeiro (forward) were called up by the coach.

Usually playing for Sporting’s B team, the quartet was included in the trip to Beira Alta by the Lions’ coach so they could train with the main squad and get familiar with routines ahead of the League Cup match against Alverca.

It is possible that some of these young players will have the opportunity to show themselves to the coach next Tuesday, as the schedule is quite tight and Sporting has only 48 hours of rest between both matches.

Sporting will be back on the field this Sunday, October 26, against Tondela. The match, part of the ninth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Ivo Vieira, will be played at Estádio João Cardoso at 18:00.

Benfica is in second place, with 21 points (one more game played), while Porto leads the competition with 22 points.
