Rui Borges unveils surprise 'signing' as Moreirense face Sporting | OneFootball

The Sporting squad continues its preparation for the match against Moreirense. The Lions returned to training this Wednesday morning, February 18, after two days off, and the big news from Rui Borges was the return of Salvador Blopa.

The 18-year-old winger, after an injury during a promising phase in the first team, recently recovered and in the last round of the Segunda Liga, in the victory against Portimonense, stood out by scoring one of the goals in the 4-3 win for the Lions' secondary team.

Besides Salvador Blopa, Rui Borges also called up Flávio Gonçalves and Rafael Nel - who made his debut at Alvalade against Famalicão -, a duo that has been repeatedly called up in recent weeks, as well as the full-back David Moreira.

However, Fotis Ioannidis and Zeno Debast have not yet received the green light from the medical department to be reintegrated into the squad. The Greek forward and the Belgian center-back are in the final stage of recovery from their respective injuries and there is still hope for both to recover in time for next Saturday's match.

The green and white team will return to the field next Saturday, February 21, against Moreirense. The match, part of the 23rd round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Vasco Botelho, will be played at 18:00 in Moreira de Cónegos.
