Rui Borges calls up forward who could leave Sporting for free | OneFootball

Sporting returned to training this Thursday at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, in a session marked by the many absences caused by the international break. Rui Borges was without 17 first-team players, who are away on duty with their respective national teams.

Rui Borges called up five players from the B team to complete the training group.

Among the session’s 'reinforcements' were defenders Lucas Taibo and Rodrigo Dias, midfielder Samuel Justo, and creative players Paulo Cardoso and Mauro Couto. The 20-year-old forward was therefore one of the new faces,at a time when his contract expires at the end of the season and he came close to leaving in the last transfer window.

There are no major changes on the medical report. Ibrahima Ba is still recovering from a relapse of a right knee injury, although he is already in the final stage of the recovery process. Moncef Zekri also remains under the care of the medical department, in this case due to a muscle problem, while Nuno Santos is still sidelined after having been out since last season.

Sporting will train again on Friday, once more in the morning and at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy. Rui Borges will have another opportunity to work with a squad affected by the international break, while awaiting the return of the players called up by their respective national teams.
