Diomande’s fitness forces Sporting to adopt a tailored plan | OneFootball

Ousmane Diomande still alarmed the Sporting delegation during the match against Paços de Ferreira last Saturday, which ended with a victory for the lions in overtime, 3-2. The player showed significant fatigue upon his return to competition, but there is no cause for concern.

According to the newspaper Record, the Ivorian international is fit for the match against Marseille in the Champions League. Despite experiencing several cramps during the second half of the main competition match, the player has been undergoing muscle strengthening and pain management to prevent it from happening again.

In reality, the complaints from the Sporting defender - with whom the lions are having trouble renewing - were merely consequences of his long break and subsequent return to competition - since he was on the field for 91 minutes, at a time when he still doesn't have his usual game rhythm.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – participated in three matches. The Ivorian international center-back started in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup, playing 68 minutes against Benfica, and also against Casa Pia, being on the field for 58 minutes before getting injured. He returned in the victory against Paços de Ferreira, where he played 90 minutes.

Sporting will be back on the field next Wednesday, October 22, against Marseille. The match, part of the third round of the Champions League, against the team led by Roberto De Zerbi, will be played at the Estádio de Alvalade at 8:00 PM.
