Rui Borges received good news in training this Monday, April 6, as Sporting prepared for the clash against Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Iván Fresneda has recovered and is fit to play.
Despite this return, the Sporting coach is still dealing with some important absences. Nuno Santos, Luis Guilherme and Fotis Ioannidis remain unavailable, all still recovering from their respective injuries, and will miss the match.
Before the game, Rui Borges will hold the usual pre-match press conference, scheduled for 6:00 pm, accompanied by a player from the green-and-white squad. On the English side, Mikel Arteta and David Raya will speak shortly after, at 6:45 pm.
Iván Fresneda - valued at 12 million euros - has already made 37 appearances in a Sporting shirt this season: 22 in Liga Portugal, nine in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Super Cup.
