Rui Borges to call up player after single Sporting training session | OneFootball

Rui Borges will call up Fotis Ioannidis for the Famalicão - Sporting match. Although the striker has only had one training session with the Lions, the coach will include the name of the Greek international for the trip to Minho, in the fifth round of Liga Portugal Betclic.

Despite having had few training sessions before the match, Sporting’s new number 89 will be called up, since Rui Borges’ options for the position are quite limited, with Ioannidis having only Luis Suárez ahead of him.

In the last 2024/25 season, playing for Panathinaikos, Fotis Ioannidis – valued at 15 million euros – had numbers below expectations. In 42 matches played, the striker scored 11 goals and provided two assists. In the current season, he has played four games without any goal contributions so far.

The match against the team led by Hugo Oliveira, valid for the fifth round of Liga Portugal Betclic, will be played in Minho and is scheduled to kick off at 8:30 p.m.
