Unbelievable! After Ibrahima Ba, another Sporting signing injured | OneFootball

Sporting continued preparations for the visit of Galatasaray, scheduled for this Wednesday at 8:00 pm, on matchday one of the Champions League. Rui Borges led another training session on Tuesday morning at the professional wing of the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, with 28 players in attendance, but without three members.

New signing Moncef Zekri was one of the absentees in training, joining injured players Ibrahima Ba and Nuno Santos. The three players were therefore left out of preparations for the European match, in a session whose first 15 minutes were open to the media.

The main piece of news was João Simões, who returned to training after a long spell out. The midfielder rejoined Rui Borges’ group in a session that also included Lucas Taibo, a center-back from the B team, called up for the first time to work with the senior squad.

In addition to Lucas Taibo, the Sporting coach once again relied on other youngsters from the academy, namely Eduardo Felicíssimo, Rodrigo Dias, Guilherme Pires and Francisco Silva. The group was thus made up of players from various positions, with Rui Borges putting the finishing touches on the Lions’ debut in the competition.

The final stage of preparation for the clash with Galatasaray takes place this afternoon from 2:30 pm at the José Alvalade Stadium.
