Sporting's main team trained on Monday morning at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, with their sights set on the clash against Napoli. Nuno Santos and Daniel Bragança were the only absentees, remaining under the care of the club's Performance Unit.

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, after which the team will head to southern Italy at 3:00 pm. The pre-match press conference is scheduled for 6:45 pm, already at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

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

Ousmane Diomande will be part of Sporting's squad. However, the player will be managed carefully during this phase of returning to competition, as the coaching staff does not want to risk a relapse for the Ivorian at this stage, after the recovery already took longer than expected at Alvalade.

Sporting will thus return to the field only next Wednesday, October 1, against Napoli. The match, counting for the second round of the Champions League, against the team led by Antonio Conte - who has a major headache to resolve before the Napoli-Sporting match -, will be played at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, at 8:00 pm.
