Pedro Gonçalves has rejoined Sporting’s training after being on duty with the National Team. However, the player is said to have returned “frustrated” for not being an option for Roberto Martínez in either of the two matches played by Portugal.
According to O Jogo, Pote does not understand why he wasn’t brought off the bench against the Republic of Ireland (1-0 win) and Hungary (2-2 draw). Still, the fact is that Sporting’s number 8 arrives fresh for Rui Borges’ side.
This season, wearing Sporting’s shirt, Pedro Gonçalves — valued at 30 million euros — has already made 11 appearances: eight in the Liga Portugal, two in the Champions League, and one in the Super Cup. Over the 883 minutes he has played, the Lions’ number 8 has already recorded five goals and three assists.
The match, counting for the third round of the Taça de Portugal, against Filipe Cândido’s team, will be played at the Estádio Capital do Móvel at 8:15 p.m.
