Rui Borges faces nearly five injuries just days before Braga v Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting continues to prepare for their trip to Braga, corresponding to the 25th round of the championship. On Thursday morning, the team trained at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy and there were no significant updates regarding Rui Borges’s options, so the coach still has four injured players.

According to the Club’s official website, the medical report still includes Geovany Quenda, who is recovering from a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot; Fotis Ioannidis, with a ligament injury in his left knee; Ricardo Mangas, dealing with muscle problems; and Giorgi Kochorashvili, who suffered a traumatic injury.

The squad mainly did gym work, in a phase dedicated to physical recovery after a demanding week marked by two important games: the recent match against Porto and the upcoming visit to Pedreira next Saturday.

Despite this, there was a special reason to smile in the Sporting dressing room. Captain Morten Hjulmand became a father for the first time on Wednesday night, experiencing a remarkable moment in his personal life. The Danish midfielder and his partner, Emilie Sofie Nissen, welcomed the couple’s first daughter.

The Sporting team will hold their final training session on Friday morning before traveling to Minho. Later, at 12:30 p.m., Rui Borges will preview the match in the António Capela Auditorium, in a press conference ahead of the clash scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on Saturday.
