Breaking news! Geny Catamo ruled out for Sporting, won't return until 2026 | OneFootball

Geny Catamo will play his last match for Sporting on December 14, against AVS SAD. The Mozambican winger has been in good form this season, being a regular choice for Rui Borges, but that situation is about to change.

Geny Catamo will be called up by his national team coach to compete in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which kicks off next December. The Sporting player’s national team will hold a training camp before the start of the tournament, which will take place in Morocco, and the dates have already been set.

The Mozambican national team will train in the Algarve starting December 15. This means that the last match Geny Catamo will play for Sporting in 2025 will be the game against AVS SAD, scheduled for December 14. After that, he will travel to the south of the country, where he will stay with his national team until leaving for the continental competition.

The Africa Cup of Nations will then begin on December 21 in Morocco, running until January 18. This means that Geny Catamo could be unavailable for Rui Borges for about a month, and, in addition to that, there is also the accumulated fatigue from an international competition.

The Mozambican winger will miss important Sporting matches at the end of the calendar year, including Vitória de Guimarães, Rio Ave, and Gil Vicente. The Lions risk being without Geny Catamo for even more matches, depending on Mozambique’s performance in the Africa Cup of Nations.
