Rui Borges may spring a surprise in Sporting’s line-up against Braga | OneFootball

Ousmane Diomande will be re-evaluated by Sporting’s medical department and could be brought in by Rui Borges against Braga.

Rui Borges is considering the possibility of bringing Ousmane Diomande back into Sporting’s starting eleven for the match against Braga. Although he was included on the team sheet against Napoli, the center-back was not at 100%, which left Tomás da Cunha somewhat surprised.

According to information reported by the newspaper A Bola, Diomande could have played in Naples, but was limited to just a few minutes. Therefore, Rui Borges and Sporting’s technical staff decided not to field the ‘number 26’.

It is very likely that he will be given the green light for 90 minutes against the Minho side.

This season, wearing Sporting’s shirt, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – has played in two matches. The Ivory Coast international center-back started in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, playing 68 minutes against Benfica, and also against Casa Pia, being on the pitch for 58 minutes before getting injured.
