Rui Silva misses Famalicão v Sporting, reason already revealed | OneFootball

Rui Silva is out for the match between Sporting and Famalicão. The Lions' goalkeeper did not even travel with the squad to Gaia – where the green and whites hold training camps for matches in the north of the country – and will miss the fifth round of the National Championship.

According to information reported by the newspaper Record, Rui Silva suffered a left hand injury during last Friday's training session. The issue prevents the Portuguese international from playing in Famalicão, but his recovery is expected to be short and in time for the Champions League match on Thursday against Kairat.

This season, wearing Sporting's shirt, Rui Silva – valued at 7 million euros – has played five matches. The Portuguese international started in all the games played by the green and whites, playing 450 minutes, during which he conceded four goals.

Sporting will be back on the pitch this Saturday, September 13, against Famalicão. 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.
