Rui Borges with plenty of problems for AFS v Sporting | OneFootball

After a day off granted to the squad following their qualification for the Portuguese Cup final, Sporting returned to training in Alcochete this Friday, already with Sunday’s away trip to AVS SAD in mind, with the match of the 31st round of the league scheduled for 8:30pm.

As such, Morten Hjulmand, with a sprain to his right ankle, Gonçalo Inácio, with a traumatic sprain to his left ankle, João Simões, after surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, Iván Fresneda, with pubalgia symptoms, and Ioannidis, with ligament damage in his left knee, will all miss this upcoming trip north.

Meanwhile, Nuno Santos is a doubt for the match against AVS SAD. The left-sided player, who is recovering from a muscle injury in his left thigh, is already back working on the pitch, which keeps alive the hope that he could return to Rui Borges’ squad list this Saturday.

The Lions will train again on Saturday morning behind closed doors at the professional wing of the Academy, before the team’s coach previews the match in a press conference from 12:00pm at the António Capela Auditorium in Alcochete.
