Two Sporting starters miss final training before Arsenal clash | OneFootball

Sporting held their final training session at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, in Alcochete, with the first 15 minutes open to the media, to fine-tune the final details ahead of the match against Arsenal, scheduled for 8:00 pm this Wednesday. Iván Fresneda and Zeno Debast were absent.

The wing-back’s absence, after he came off with complaints during the match against Estrela da Amadora, means the full-back is unlikely to be fit for the clash with the Gunners, just like the Belgian centre-back.

, who missed the last game due to physical problems, is currently training on the pitch without limitations and, by all indications, will be available to be included in Rui Borges’ squad. Also worth noting is the presence of Rafael Nel, Flávio Gonçalves, Salvador Blopa, Bruno Ramos and Francisco Silva.

Missing from the green-and-white coach’s list of options for the trip to London are Nuno Santos, with a muscle problem in the back of his left thigh, Luís Guilherme, with a sprain in his left foot, and Fotis Ioannidis, with trauma to the medial collateral ligament in his right knee.

As such, the Sporting delegation will travel to England after lunch, with the pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Arsenal scheduled for 7:00 pm, featuring Rui Borges and Luis Suárez. Sporting travel to England determined to reach the semi-finals of the lucrative competition.
