Diomande shows promise, but could still get bad news at Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting maintains some optimism about the recovery of Ousmane Diomande, but his presence in the next match of the green and white team is still not a certainty. Remember that the lions face Famalicão in the next match for the national championship, after the end of the international break. The lions are also considering the renewal of the Ivorian player.

Ousmane Diomande was injured on August 8, in the first game of the Liga Portugal Betclic, which ended with a victory for the lions over Casa Pia, 2-0. At that time, it was a muscle injury in the right thigh that forced the central defender to be substituted, and it is this problem that has kept him off the field for almost a month.

Since then, Ousmane Diomande has been in the recovery process with the Sporting's Performance Unit. The green and white central defender has been doing a lot of gym work, including on days off for the main squad, in order to be ready to return to competition as soon as possible.

And, considering the work that has been done by the player and the technical team, the newspaper Record reports that the Performance Unit considers the player recoverable for Sporting's next match, which will take place next Saturday, October 13, at 8:30 PM, against Famalicão.

However, Rui Borges and the rest of the technical team have already decided that they will not force anything with Ousmane Diomande's return to the field. The player is showing positive signs for now, but he will be reassessed before the game against Famalicão, and only then will it be decided if he returns to competition, depending on his physical condition at that time.
