Breaking! Rui Borges reveals Sporting - Benfica doubt after Fresneda | OneFootball

Iván Fresneda remains doubtful for Sporting - Benfica, but he is not the only one. In the build-up to the match, Rui Borges revealed that he also does not know whether João Simões will be available to be among the options for the derby of the 30th round of the National Championship.

"Iván [Fresneda] and [João] Simões are doubts for tomorrow's game", the Sporting coach began by saying about possible absences for the green and whites ahead of the clash against the Eagles. However, the manager did not stop there.

Right after that, Rui Borges made it clear that there are three certain absences: Nuno Santos, Luís Guilherme and Fotis Ioannidis, although there was good news: "Nuno [Santos] is still out, and Fotis [Ioannidis] and Luís [Guilherme] as well. They are still not available. I don't know if they will be for the next game, but they are already back on the pitch, which is good".

At this stage, Rui Borges's side have 71 points and remain in second place in the standings. Porto (76) are in first place (with one more game played). Benfica, meanwhile, are third with 69, also having played one more match.
