Good news! Rui Borges takes two recovered players to Arouca v Sporting | OneFootball

Pote and Ousmane Diomande are the two major new additions to Rui Borges’ squad list for Sporting’s match against Arouca which will take place on Saturday, January 24, at 6:00 PM, at the Estádio Municipal de Arouca. The match may be affected by storm Ingrid.

The forward and the center-back are returning from muscle injuries and will remain bench options, as Rui Borges has other choices that allow him to manage the squad without risks. The use of both players will always be carefully considered, taking into account the condition of the pitch, which may not be in the best shape throughout the 90 minutes.

In the press conference, the Lions’ coach revealed that the duo has already trained and chose to keep the doubt alive, but according to information reported by the newspaper Record, both are included in the squad. Morten Hjulmand also returns to the Mirandela coach’s selections, after missing the historic match against PSG and the one against Casa Pia due to suspension.

Another new feature is the inclusion of the second winter signing, Souleymane Faye, who is now registered in the league. The winger, who came from Granada, can now accelerate his integration into the squad training camp, and could even make his debut, as he has shown in his first training sessions that he is in good physical condition.

At this moment, the green and whites occupy second place in the National Championship standings, with 45 points. Benfica is in third place with 42, while Porto leads the competition, unbeaten, with 52 points.
