Rui Borges sends injured Sporting player to B team, Fernandes grateful | OneFootball

Bruno Ramos's ordeal is close to coming to an end. The 21-year-old Brazilian centre-back is expected to return to action on the weekend of 30 August, with his comeback initially set to take place with Sporting B, who will face Farense in the fourth round of Liga 2.

After two seasons on loan with the Lions, the player began pre-season as part of Rui Borges' first-team squad. However, a new muscle injury, suffered during a friendly against the B team, once again interrupted his progress.

His absence ended up having consequences in the first-team pecking order. While Bruno Ramos was sidelined, Eduardo Felicíssimo gained ground as a centre-back after being converted to the position, having previously played as a defensive midfielder. The youngster's strong performances ended up moving him ahead of the Brazilian.

Bruno Ramos arrived at Sporting with a reputation as a player with great potential, standing out above all for his pace, technical quality and ability to build play from the back. Those traits convinced the Sporting hierarchy to move forward with his permanent signing, but physical problems have heavily hampered the centre-back's development: he played just eight matches in 2024/25 and 19 the following season.

The next step will therefore be a return to competition with Tiago Fernandes' team, where Bruno Ramos will be able to regain match fitness. The centre-back has even already made his debut for Sporting's first team, under Ruben Amorim, in a Portuguese Cup match against Portimonense.
