Vagiannidis given ultimatum to seize his chance at Sporting | OneFootball

Georgios Vagiannidis is set to go straight into Sporting's starting eleven against Marinhense. The Greek international has another opportunity to showcase himself to Rui Borges after a start full of ups and downs at the Alvalade Club, where he has been trying to improve.

Despite irregular playtime at the start of the season with the green and whites, the 'number 13' might replace Iván Fresneda in the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup - since the Spaniard returns from the FIFA break with an additional 180 minutes played, while the Greek has only half (90').

Furthermore, Rui Borges is likely to repeat his bet on Vagiannidis as he did during the lions' debut in the premier competition against Alverca. In that same match, besides showing good signs, the player provided two assists for his teammates.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Georgios Vagiannidis - valued at 12 million euros - has participated in 11 matches. The green and white full-back has played a total of 730 minutes, during which he managed to make three assists for his teammates.

The green and white emblem will return to the field only on Saturday, November 22, against Marinhense. The match, part of the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team from Marinha Grande, will be played at 6:00 PM in Alvalade.
