Sporting may have a plan to get Morita and Diomande fit for Kairat clash | OneFootball

Good news for Rui Borges: Hidemasa Morita and Ousmane Diomande may get some playing time in Sporting - Kairat, valid for the first match of the Champions League. Sidelined due to injury, the two players won't be starters, but they could be options from the bench, with their playing time previously defined.

According to information revealed by the newspaper A Bola, despite the center-back and the midfielder not having joined the green and white squad in last Tuesday's training, September 16, they are in the final stage of recovery from their respective injuries. That being said, it is likely that they will join today's training.

Geovany Quenda is expected to be a starter again.

The 'number 10' joins Daniel Bragança, Nuno Santos, and Rui Silva as available for the match, since the goalkeeper of the Alvalade Club also won't be playing, seeing his place taken by João Virgínia, as it happened against Famalicão.

The Sporting will be back on the field on Thursday, September 18, against Kairat Almaty. The match against the team led by Rafael Urazbakhtin, valid for the first match of the Champions League, will be played at José Alvalade Stadium and kick-off is scheduled for 8:00 pm.
