Two versions of Luis Suárez at Sporting: all you need to know | OneFootball

Luis Suárez is not expected to face any disciplinary consequences following the incident that took place in Wednesday’s training session. Sporting believe there is no case involving the Colombian striker, who remains fully integrated in Rui Borges’ work as normal.

According to the newspaper A Bola, there are two versions of the incident: the 'number 97' finished an exercise aimed at collecting biometric data and headed to the dressing room. After being informed that the session had not yet ended, he returned to the pitch to complete the additional exercise indicated by the coaching staff.

The same source writes that the attitude was not interpreted by the Sporting officials as an act of indiscipline and, therefore, will not lead to any measure. Suárez joined pre-season later due to Colombia’s participation in the World Cup and is still trying to regain his usual physical levels.

The striker is coming off a particularly demanding season, in which he totalled 4,367 minutes in 53 matches, with 38 goals and seven assists. At the time, Fotis Ioannidis’ injury left Rui Borges with little room to manage the Colombian international’s playing time.

The scenario could now be reversed. Recovered and showing better physical indicators, Ioannidis is shaping up to start against Estrela da Amadora on Saturday at 8:30pm, leaving Luis Suárez on the bench. Rafael Nel, who showed promising signs during pre-season, is expected to be another option for the attack.
