Rui Borges rubbing his hands, two new signings in sight for Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting returned to training this Sunday at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy in Alcochete, and Rui Borges received good news regarding the medical bulletin. Nuno Santos and Iván Fresneda continue to recover well and have taken another step toward returning to competition.

According to Record newspaper, both players are already doing field work, although still separately from the rest of the squad. Their progress has been satisfactory, and both are nearing the final stage of recovery, getting ever closer to returning to training without any limitations.

The Sporting coaching staff are closely monitoring the duo’s recovery, hoping to be able to count on Nuno Santos and Fresneda - seen as untouchable for Rui Borges - in the first weeks of the new season, if they maintain their current rate of physical progress. The goal is to gradually reintegrate both into collective training as soon as they receive clearance from the medical department.

Meanwhile, João Simões is still recovering from a fracture to the fifth metatarsal in his right foot. The young midfielder remains under the care of the medical department and is expected to miss the first official matches of the season, extending his recovery process.

Rui Borges will therefore continue managing the squad without three players fully available, although the signs coming from the treatment room are encouraging. While Nuno Santos and Fresneda move closer to returning to training without restrictions, João Simões remains focused on making a full recovery before returning to competition.
