Sporting star's injury not serious, short spell on sidelines | OneFootball

In the preview of the match against Marinhense, for the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup, Rui Borges provided an update on several players from the squad, following the break in national competitions for international commitments, and took the opportunity to talk about Pote's injury, who was injured against Santa Clara and Fotis Ioannidis, assuring that the Portuguese player does not have a serious problem.

"Regarding the injured players, Pote will be a short break and Ioannidis needs more time, but I can't specify. João Simões is out," he began by saying, in statements to journalists present in the auditorium of the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, reminding who can play in his place until his return.

"In terms of quantifying, I can't specify Pote's break, but he should return to the field shortly, because he has had a brilliant start, perhaps his best ever. As for Alisson, he is prepared like others, such as Quenda, Geny, or Rodrigo Ribeiro who have also been training there. Last year, we played almost the entire season with Geny and Quenda until Pote returned."

Sporting will return to the field this Saturday, November 22, against Marinhense. The match, for the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team from Marinha Grande, will be played at the Estádio José Alvalade, at 6:00 PM.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Pedro Gonçalves - valued at 30 million euros - has already played 17 games: 11 for the Liga Portugal, four for the Champions League, one for the Portuguese Cup, and another for the Super Cup. During the 1,394 minutes he has played, the 'number 8' of the lions has already scored nine goals and six assists.
