Fotis Ioannidis offers Sporting relief from the big clubs | OneFootball

Fotis Ioannidis was once again chosen by Rui Borges for Sporting’s starting eleven, this time against Rio Ave – whom the green and whites defeated 4-0 – and, on this occasion, the Greek international ended up giving good news to the coach.

Unlike what had happened since his return to competition after injury, the 25-year-old forward played in the 16th round of Liga Portugal Betclic without any brace or protection on his left knee, remaining on the pitch for 77 minutes.

Fotis Ioannidis did not finish the match on the field, with Rui Borges bringing on Flávio Gonçalves in his place already in the final stretch of the game. The Sporting coach chose to manage some players in the second half; besides the Greek, Maxi Araújo and Morten Hjulmand were also substituted.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Fotis Ioannidis – valued at 20 million euros – has played 19 matches. The 25-year-old Greek international forward has played 823 minutes, during which he has already scored six goals and provided three assists for the green and white team.

Sporting will be back on the pitch next Friday, January 2, against Gil Vicente. The match, counting for the 17th round of the National Championship, against the team led by César Peixoto, will be played at 18:45 in Barcelos.
