Luis Suárez needed special treatment for Juventus v Sporting | OneFootball

Luis Suárez ended up coming off the bench in the Juventus - Sporting match last Tuesday, November 4th, for the fourth round of the Champions League. The Colombian international once again felt the need to protect his knee.

On the eve of the match, the forward of the green and whites had already trained with protection, due to discomfort he felt in the match against Alverca. Now, both for technical reasons and physical management, Fotis Ioannidis ended up being the starter in his place.

Even before being called into the game by Rui Borges, Suárez had already been warming up with his knee bandaged and showed himself to be quite cautious with all the exercises performed, which may imply a 'tweezers' management approach by Sporting.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has played 15 matches: 10 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, three in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup. In 1,074 minutes, the striker scored eight goals and made two assists.

The green and white emblem will return to the field next Saturday, November 8th, against Santa Clara, in a match for the 11th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Vasco Matos will be played at 8:30 PM, at the Estádio de São Miguel, in Ponta Delgada.
