Sporting star picks up a knock, Rui Borges gets medical team’s update | OneFootball

Iván Fresneda still 'scared' during the match between Sporting and Estrela da Amadora, last Sunday, November 30. The Spain U21 international complained about his ankle, but he will be fit to play against Benfica.

The player felt discomfort after a contested play with Lopes Cabral, in which he ended up lying on the field, causing concern for Rui Borges and the rest of the coaching staff. However, there is no cause for concern at Alvalade.

Fresneda has been declared fit by Sporting's Performance Unit and is an option for the derby against Benfica, despite complaints in the area where he had already suffered a sprain this season. Besides the full-back, Gonçalo Inácio - who was addressed by Rui Borges - and Geny Catamo also finished the match with physical issues, but all are available for the encounter against the eternal rival.

Iván Fresneda - valued at 8 million euros - has already played 17 matches wearing the Sporting jersey this new season: ten in the Liga Portugal, four in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the Super Cup. In 1,030 minutes of play, he has already scored one goal and provided one assist.

The green and white team will take the field again next Friday, December 5, against Benfica. The match, part of the 13th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by José Mourinho, will be played at 8:15 PM at the Estádio da Luz.
