Sporting's new plan to recover defender worrying Rui Borges - exclusive | OneFootball

Sporting want to definitively solve the muscle problems that have hampered Bruno Ramos since his arrival at Alvalade, as our newspaper had already reported in a Leonino Exclusive. The 21-year-old Brazilian centre-back has been sidelined for almost three months and is still following a specific recovery plan.

According to the newspaper A Bola, the Lions’ Performance Unit has drawn up a strict programme for the defender, who has been following all the instructions from the medical and performance departments. For now, Sporting have set no timetable for his return to competition.

Bruno Ramos began pre-season with the first team and wanted to take advantage of the absences of Zeno Debast, Gonçalo Inácio and Ousmane Diomande to show Rui Borges that he could be a valid option for the heart of the defence. However, a new muscle injury, suffered on 3 July in a training match between the A and B teams, once again put that goal on hold.

A return to the pitch was projected at different times, but ended up being repeatedly postponed. The priority for Sporting’s officials is now to eliminate the physical fragility that has followed the player, avoiding any rush that could cause another setback.

Bruno Ramos’ technical quality remains well recognised in Alcochete. The centre-back stands out for his passing ability, ball progression and pace in defensive transition, traits that led Sporting to buy his rights from Académico de Viseu for around €2 million, after an initial loan spell. Rui Borges approved the signing because he believed the Brazilian could become a consistent solution for the first team.
