Rui Borges on Sporting player needing care: not worried | OneFootball

With the usual injury problems at Alvalade, Rui Borges was questioned about his options for Sporting's defense against Athletic Bilbao, thanks to the return of Eduardo Quaresma and the management of Ousmane Diomande, which seems to be finalized.

"As for Ousmane, we have to look for the best levels, it's part of it," emphasized the Lions' coach about the Ivorian international, who ended up not being used in three matches since returning from the African Cup of Nations: Casa Pia, PSG, and Arouca.

Next, Rui Borges spoke about Eduardo Quaresma, making some revelations about the player's attitude: "Edu too. I want to emphasize his willingness to train and be available. It made me happy. Not at all worried about the problem he had and super motivated. His desire to play is so strong, regardless of adapting to the mask. With or without a game, he will adapt. I'm happy to see him super motivated."

At the moment, Rui Borges's team has 13 points in the competition and is in 10th place on the leaderboard. The next game in the international competition is scheduled for Wednesday, January 28th, at 8:00 PM, against Athletic Bilbao, at San Mamés Stadium.

Sporting returns to the field next Wednesday, January 28th, against Athletic Bilbao. The match, part of the eighth and final round of the Champions League, against the team led by Ernesto Valverde, will be played at 8:00 PM, in San Mamés.
