Rui Borges commented on the recent news regarding Nuno Santos’ return in mid-January. The Sporting coach was questioned about this reintegration, but did not give much information about the possibility.

"Regarding Nuno, I don’t know where the information that he will return in January comes from. He is recovering, I would really like him to return in January but I don’t know. I hope to have him back as soon as possible. It’s been a difficult recovery, mentally it’s tough, but he is special and capable of overcoming it," said the Sporting coach.

Additionally, Rui Borges also addressed the pressure of playing in Guimarães, recalling last season: "Regarding last season, it’s normal, they were fresh. These are fans who love the club, who defend the colors and the city. They do it passionately and vibrantly. I have enormous respect for the club, the structure, and the players. Everyone helped me get here. I will never be ungrateful."
