Sporting signing dazzles and is promoted to Rui Borges's first team | OneFootball

Rodrigo Rodrigues is aiming to earn a place in Sporting’s first team. After making an excellent impression with the B team, the 18-year-old winger was called up by Rui Borges and is expected to get minutes in one of the friendlies against Portimonense or Strasbourg.

Signed this summer from Gil Vicente, the 18-year-old began training with the reserve side and took part in the training camp held in Moncarapacho. The performances he delivered pleased coach Tiago Fernandes, who passed on a very positive assessment to the first-team coaching staff.

Rodrigo Rodrigues’ absence from the B team’s match against Farense reinforced the idea that the winger is already part of Rui Borges’ immediate plans. The coach wants to take a closer look at him before making a decision on the role he could play over the course of the season.
