João Simões set for Sporting return: comeback date revealed | OneFootball

This Monday, November 24, João Simões is expected to return to Sporting's team training. After missing the match against Marinhense, both for rest and due to injury, the young midfielder of the lions will be reintegrated before the Champions League.

It seems that the 'number 52' of the green and whites is fit to play against Club Brugge and is likely to start in the midfield of Rui Borges' team, alongside Morten Hjulmand. For now, it is expected that the young midfielder will return to training after a break, being the only one in the medical department recovering in time to face the Belgians.

It is worth remembering that João Simões has been dealing with a left foot injury, which even affected him in the matches against Juventus and Santa Clara. The player ended up being released from the National Under-21 Team to recover at Sporting.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, João Simões - valued at 6 million euros - has played eight matches. The midfielder trained at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy has already accumulated 421 minutes: 224 in the Champions League and 197 in the Liga Portugal Betclic.

The green and white emblem will return to the field next Wednesday, November 26, against Club Brugge. The match, counting for the fifth round of the Champions League, against the team led by Nicky Hayen, will be played at the Estádio de Alvalade at 8:00 PM.
