Menezes Rodrigues laments Sporting star’s injury: We’re all very worried | OneFootball

António Menezes Rodrigues says that Pedro Gonçalves is experiencing “repeated misfortunes” regarding the lions. The former vice-president of Sporting regrets another injury break for the player but trusts Rui Borges to face the upcoming challenges without the 'number 8'.

“Some people have repeated misfortunes, and Pedro Gonçalves is one of them. But Pote's misfortune is also Sporting's misfortune because Pote is a fabulous player and a crucial piece in the team's strategy,” he emphasized, acknowledging that there is concern at Alvalade about the player's medical condition.

“We are all very worried. Poor young man, who is an excellent professional. Players like Nuno Santos, who is a magnificent and solid player, are also sidelined, not to mention Daniel Bragança,” recalled the former leader of the green and white emblem.

The Portuguese international is once again facing issues with his right thigh, raising concerns within the team. This injury thus represents another serious headache for coach Rui Borges, who finds himself deprived of yet another crucial element.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Pedro Gonçalves - valued at 30 million euros - has already played 19 games: 13 for the Liga Portugal, four for the Champions League, one for the Portuguese Cup, and another for the Super Cup. During the 1,484 minutes he was on the field, he scored 10 goals and made six assists.
