Breaking news! Rui Borges starts Sporting-Torreense prep with new blow | OneFootball

Sporting began preparations this Tuesday for the Portuguese Cup final against Torreense, with a training session held at the National Stadium in Jamor. The session was attended by Frederico Varandas and was marked by a few important absences from Rui Borges’ squad.

Among the players who did not take to the pitch with the rest of the team were Fotis Ioannidis, Morten Hjulmand, Iván Fresneda and Nuno Santos. The Sporting captain remained at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy as a precaution, after recently returning to action against Gil Vicente.

During the first 15 minutes open to the media, Sporting’s players carried out several ball drills, including the usual rondo, in a session marked by a relaxed atmosphere but already fully focused on next Sunday’s final.

Sporting are looking to end the 2025/26 season by winning the Portuguese Cup, having already secured second place in Liga Portugal Betclic and a return to the Champions League. If they win the top competition, the Lions will take part in the Super Cup against Porto.

The green-and-white side will be back in action next Sunday, May 24, against Torreense. The match, the Portuguese Cup final against the team coached by Luís Tralhão, is scheduled to kick off at 5:15 pm in Jamor.
