Good and bad news! Rui Borges sees one Sporting return, another difficult | OneFootball

This Sunday, May 3, Rui Borges held the pre-match press conference ahead of Sporting - Vitória SC, which will be played tomorrow at Alvalade. The Lions' coach gave the usual update on the injury report, with both good and bad news.

"Everything is the same. Gonçalo Inácio is a bit better, he could still play this season. Morten Hjulmand? Difficult", made clear the green-and-white coach, who also assured that Geny Catamo is fit and will feature against the side from Guimarães, after the scare against Tondela.

Elsewhere, Rui Borges also commented on the Lions' recent difficulties and said fatigue cannot be used as an excuse: "We had to be more competent, there is fatigue, but it is no excuse. I will never cling to excuses. I don't believe in luck or bad luck, it's about competence. There is mental fatigue because of everything this season has been, because of what has happened to us, but that is part of it. We have to know how to deal with that and react. The demands are maximum and there are no excuses".

At the moment, Rui Borges' side have 73 points and sit third in the National Championship standings. Porto (85) are in first place, with one more game played. Benfica are second with 76, also having played one more match.
