Sporting - Alverca may have brought bad news for Eduardo Quaresma | OneFootball

Eduardo Quaresma was in the starting lineup for Sporting’s victory over Alverca (5-1). The ‘number 72’ played as the central defender in a three-man defense system, but was eventually substituted by Rui Borges in the 84th minute, showing some physical discomfort.

Quaresma was replaced by João Muniz and, according to recent information, it may be a traumatic injury. However, the center-back, who came through the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, will be re-evaluated this Wednesday when the team returns to training.

In principle, Eduardo Quaresma’s injury is not serious, but it may be enough to rule the center-back out of the Lions’ next match. Sporting’s medical department will assess the situation and decide what to do with the young green and white defender.

This season, wearing Sporting’s shirt, Eduardo Quaresma – valued at 17 million euros – has played in five matches. At the start of this season, the Portugal U21 international center-back has played a total of 314 minutes, without scoring any goals or providing any assists to his teammates.

Sporting will be back on the field this Friday, October 31, once again against Alverca. The match, counting for the tenth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Custódio, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade, at 8:15 pm.
