Geny Catamo's fitness issues cause concern at Sporting | OneFootball

Rui Borges has been carefully managing Geny Catamo's minutes, due to the myalgia in the right thigh that the Mozambican winger has been experiencing this season. The green and white star is one of the players who has the confidence of the Sporting coach, but he hasn't been able to contribute 100% so far.

Since October 9, Geny Catamo hasn't played the full 90 minutes, at that time, while on duty with the Mozambique National Team. Since then, the winger hasn't played the full duration in any of the nine games, having played more than 60 minutes in only three matches.

The limitations in terms of minutes are explained, according to the newspaper Record, due to the physical problems that Geny Catamo has been experiencing. Rui Borges does not want to lose the player, and therefore, has been very cautious in managing his playing time, so as not to worsen an existing problem.

The Sporting coach remembers well the drama experienced last season regarding injuries in the green and white squad. As such, to avoid a similar situation this season, he is taking some preventive measures, with Geny Catamo being one of the proofs of this approach by the lions' technical team.

In the match against Santa Clara, Geny Catamo even played with a kinesio tape on his right thigh, to manage the player's physical condition and endurance. In Sporting's next match, the winger might even start, but it's unlikely he will play the full 90 minutes.
