Ioannidis injury sparks debate, Sporting issue striker update | OneFootball

Fotis Ioannidis gave positive signs to Rui Borges after the derby with Benfica. The Sporting striker, an international for the Greek national team, had suffered a complicated injury in the match against Santa Clara, played in the Azores on November 8th.

Rui Borges saw Fotis Ioannidis make a real race against time to recover in time to help the team in the match against Benfica. The player's effort was rewarded, as not only was he included in the squad, but he was actually used, even if with some caution from Sporting's medical team.

Fotis Ioannidis' effort also earned him praise from Rui Borges, who was very pleased with the attitude of the Greek striker: "We were surprised by his ability to fight against the injury. It's players like these that define a group".

The truth is that participating in the Benfica - Sporting match did not bring any negative consequences for Fotis Ioannidis. The newspaper Record reports that the player returned to training with the Sporting squad without pain, thanks to the minutes he played in the Lisbon derby.

Therefore, Ioannidis is once again an option for Sporting's next match, against Bayern Munich. The Greek striker will continue to have his minutes restricted, but his recovery is progressing smoothly so far.
