Luis Suárez hears what he didn’t want, Sporting striker sent packing | OneFootball

Luis Suárez may lose his starting position in Sporting's attacking front. The forward faces competition from Fotis Ioannidis, who has been putting pressure on the Colombian in recent matches. With the return to the Champions League, Rui Borges might make changes to the lineup, after comparing the two players.

According to information from the newspaper Record, the accumulated fatigue of Suárez, combined with Rui Borges prioritizing the National Championship, could lead to Ioannidis starting in Turin against Juventus, as happened in Naples.

Rui Borges has not yet made a decision and is expected to decide in the coming days. The green and whites will train this Monday at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy and will leave for Italy on Tuesday. At the end of the day, Sporting's coach will hold the usual pre-match press conference.

This season, wearing the green and white stripes, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has played 15 matches. The Sporting player participated in most of the official matches at the start of the season: ten for Liga Portugal, three for the Champions League, one for the Portuguese Cup, and another for the Super Cup. In the 1,074 minutes he has been on the field, the forward scored eight goals and provided two assists.

Sporting returns to the field on Tuesday, November 4th, this time against the Italians of Juventus. The match, counting for the fourth round of the Champions League, against the team led by Luciano Spalletti, will be played at the opponent's ground at 8:00 PM.
