Sporting returned to training this Thursday after the home draw against Tondela (2-2), in a match in which the Lions let points slip away in stoppage time. The session was focused on recovery, at a time when the team is looking to respond to the recent setback in the league.
The medical report, however, remains a cause for concern for Rui Borges. Fresneda, Gonçalo Inácio, Hjulmand, João Simões and Ioannidis remain under the care of the medical department, with no updates on their recovery, keeping the range of options reduced for the upcoming fixtures.
In addition, Geny Catamo finished the last match with physical complaints, which raises doubts about his availability for the game against Vitória de Guimarães. The winger’s situation will be assessed over the coming days, at a crucial stage of the season.
Given this scenario, the Sporting squad will have Friday off, in an attempt to ease the pressure and ‘clear their heads’ after the latest frustrations. The team returns to work on Saturday, already fully focused on preparing for the next match.
. The match, valid for matchday 32 of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side coached by Gil Lameiras, will be played at 8:15 pm at the José Alvalade Stadium.
