Rui Borges puzzled by new doubt for Sporting v Marinhense | OneFootball

João Simões is the new headache for Rui Borges. The Sporting player ended up being released from the U21 national team duties and is doubtful for the match against Marinhense, due to a left foot injury, an area where he had already shown complaints, namely against Juventus and Santa Clara.

However, the newspaper Record reveals that the young midfielder’s injury is not expected to be serious, but the 18-year-old will still be re-evaluated upon his return to the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy. Furthermore, even though the situation does not worry the Lions, the ‘number 52’ remains at risk for the Portuguese Cup match against Marinhense.

It is worth remembering that Rui Borges had already commented on this discomfort at the end of Sporting’s match in Turin: “Simões was in doubt until the start of the game, he had a minor setback in training with his left foot. But he felt good today. He played a great game.”

The green and white team will only return to the field on Saturday, November 22, against Marinhense. The match, valid for the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team led by Rui Sacramento, will be played at 6:00 PM at Alvalade.
