Soares injured, out for Sporting v Nacional at Alvalade | OneFootball

Nacional will have an important absence for Saturday’s visit to Sporting, scheduled for Alvalade. Filipe Soares was injured during the home match against Estrela da Amadora, a game that ended in a 3-2 defeat for the Madeira side, and is now a doubt for the fourth-round clash.

The 27-year-old midfielder was injured in the 38th minute while trying to reach a long ball. Filipe Soares grabbed his right leg and ended up leaving the pitch two minutes later on a stretcher, being replaced by Matchoi Djaló.

His absence will be a setback for the islanders, as the player had started the last three rounds and was establishing himself in the team’s midfield. In fact, he had ended the previous season on a high note and was cementing his place in the Madeira side’s starting eleven.

Meanwhile, the footballer joins other players on Nacional’s injury list. Ulisses, José Gomes and Labidi are also under the care of the medical department as the Madeira team prepares for the trip to the green-and-white side’s ground.
