Sporting have an update on Iván Fresneda's fitness | OneFootball

Iván Fresneda should be fit for the clash with Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, scheduled for Wednesday in London. The Sporting right-back was replaced at half-time against Estrela da Amadora due to “physical complaints”, as Rui Borges explained.

Even so, everything suggests the substitution was merely precautionary, as the issue does not appear to be serious. Still, the Spanish player will be reassessed before the European clash, as there is a chance he could still be in pain.

The 21-year-old defender has been an important figure in Sporting’s starting XI and, even with competition from Georgios Vagiannidis, if everything goes as expected, he should keep his place in the starting line-up against the London side, retaining Rui Borges’ trust.

Iván Fresneda - valued at €12 million - has already made 39 appearances for Sporting this season: 23 in Liga Portugal, 10 in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Super Cup. .

The Lions will return to action next Wednesday, 15 April, against Arsenal. The match, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Mikel Arteta’s side, will kick off at 8:00pm at the Emirates Stadium.
