Rui Borges sends Sporting injured man to B team, Tiago Fernandes thanks | 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 August 30, with his comeback initially set to take place with Sporting B, who will face Farense on matchday four of Liga 2.

Signed permanently from Académico de Viseu this summer, 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 warm-up match against the B team, once again interrupted his progress.

The 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 ultimately moved him ahead of the Brazilian.

Bruno Ramos arrived at Sporting with a reputation as a player of high potential, standing out particularly for his pace, technical quality and ability to start moves from the back. Those traits convinced Sporting’s decision-makers to move forward with his permanent signing, but physical problems have severely hampered the defender’s development: he played only eight matches in 2024/25 and 19 in the following season.

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