Rui Borges still has a major headache before Famalicão-Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting held another training session this Friday ahead of their trip to Famalicão, but Rui Borges was once again without Ibrahima Ba on the pitch. The centre-back is still doing specific work in the gym and remains doubtful for Sunday.

The defender still has a chance of being included among the options and even of appearing in the starting eleven, depending on the progress he shows before the match.

Nuno Santos and Salvador Blopa also remain under the care of the Performance Unit. Both players are continuing specific recovery work on their respective injuries, while Moncef Zekri is still doing specific muscle-strengthening work.

The Lions will hold their final session before the trip to Famalicão this Saturday, 12 September. It will therefore be Rui Borges’s last chance to assess Ba’s physical condition and determine whether the centre-back can be included in the squad.

After the green-and-whites’ training session, at 12:15 pm, the Sporting coach will give the usual pre-match press conference. The Matchday 6 fixture in the Liga Portugal Betclic is scheduled for Sunday, 13 September, at 8:30 pm.
