Rui Borges calls up player yet to feature for A team for AFS - Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting has released the squad list for the match against AFS SAD, with the expected inclusion of Eduardo Felicíssimo standing out. The young midfielder from Sporting’s academy is among Rui Borges’ options in a call-up shaped by several absences in the squad.

The 19-year-old midfielder has been called up due to the absences of Morten Hjulmand and João Simões, both injured, opening up space in midfield for new solutions. Felicíssimo, who has been working with the first team, could therefore make his first official appearance for the Lions.

On the other hand, Nuno Santos remains unavailable, despite having already returned to training on the pitch after a muscle injury. Faye is also not included in the squad, by technical decision, and remains out of the selections in recent matches.

The list of unavailable players also includes names such as Fresneda, Gonçalo Inácio and Ioannidis, all recovering from physical problems. Among those called up, the usual presence of players such as Rui Silva, Diomande, Daniel Bragança, Trincão, Pedro Gonçalves and Luis Suárez stands out.

It should be noted that the match between Sporting and AFS SAD is scheduled for this Sunday, April 26, in a game from the 31st round of Liga Portugal Betclic. Kick-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m., with Pedro Ramalho as the referee.

Squad list:

Goalkeepers: Rui Silva, João Virgínia and Diego Calai

Defenders: Eduardo Quaresma, Debast, Maxi Araújo, Mangas, Vagiannidis, Diomande
