Rui Borges down to just two injuries ahead of Napoli v Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting’s first team trained on Monday morning at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, with their eyes set on the upcoming clash against Napoli. Nuno Santos and Daniel Bragança were the only absentees, as they continue to work with the Performance Unit of the Lions’ club.

The next training session is scheduled for Tuesday morning, September 30, at 10:00 am, again in Alcochete, with the first 15 minutes open to the media. The team will then head to southern Italy at 3:00 pm. The pre-match press conference is set for 6:45 pm, already at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

On Napoli’s side, the pre-match press conference will take place at 11:30 am in the press room of the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, with training at the Neapolitan team’s training center—again with the first 15 minutes open to the press—scheduled for 1:45 pm.

Ousmane Diomande will be among Sporting’s squad for the match. However, the player will be managed with caution during this stage of his return to competition, as the coaching staff does not want to risk a relapse for the Ivorian at this point, especially after his recovery already took longer than expected at Alvalade.

Sporting will thus return to the pitch only next Wednesday, October 1, against Napoli. The match, part of the second round of the Champions League, will be played against the side led by Antonio Conte—who has a major headache to solve ahead of the game—at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at 8:00 pm.
