Attention! Rui Borges could get a boost for Sporting v Famalicão | OneFootball

Who is eagerly awaiting a return to action is Fotis Ioannidis. Absent since January 6, when he was injured again - with a ligament problem in his left knee - during the match against Vitória de Guimarães for the Allianz Cup, the 26-year-old Greek forward is now aiming for a comeback.

According to the newspaper Record, the Greek international shows significant physical improvements and is expected to be included in Rui Borges' squad for Sunday's challenge against Famalicão. However, the number 89 is not expected to be a starting option, with a limited use anticipated, with few minutes on the field.

With this in mind, there are expectations for news about a possible reintegration of Fotis Ioannidis in Sporting's return to training this Thursday, February 12, after the team's break. Without Luis Suárez - suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards - Rui Borges sees his attacking options limited and is expected to rely on Souleymane Faye for the Colombian's position, but would like to count on the Greek for the course of the match.

This season, wearing Sporting's jersey, Fotis Ioannidis – valued at 20 million euros – has played 21 matches. The 25-year-old Greek international forward has played 931 minutes, during which he has scored six goals and provided three assists with the green and white stripes.

The green and white team will return to the field next Sunday, February 15, against Famalicão. The match, counting for the 22nd round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Hugo Oliveira, will be played at 8:30 PM, in Alvalade.
