Sporting's medical team clear player, but he won't start against Braga | OneFootball

The Sporting medical department has approved the use of Ousmane Diomande in the match against Braga. However, since the Ivorian has not been an option since the first round of the League, Rui Borges will not start the 'number 26' in the starting eleven.

According to the newspaper A Bola, despite being recovered, Diomande will start the match on the bench, with the defensive duo formed by Zeno Debast and Gonçalo Inácio. Besides the return of the Belgian, Rui Borges will promote other comebacks.

Georgios Vagiannidis replaces Iván Fresneda on the right, while Hidemasa Morita wins the contest against João Simões and Giorgi Kochorashvili for a spot in the midfield. Up front, Pote and Luis Suárez also return, while Rui Silva is firmly in goal.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – has participated in two matches. The Ivorian international center-back started in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup, playing 68 minutes against Benfica, and also against Casa Pia, being on the field for 58 minutes before getting injured.
