Luis Suárez will not join Sporting's training camp | OneFootball

Luis Suárez is very close to reporting for duty with Sporting. The striker is already in Lisbon after enjoying a holiday period with his family, following his participation with Colombia in the World Cup, where they were knocked out in the round of 16 by Switzerland.

According to Record, the Colombian international will only join Rui Borges’ training sessions once the squad returns from their training camp in the Algarve, heading back to the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy in Alcochete to once again be part of the manager’s options.

It is worth remembering that Luis Suárez finished the World Cup without scoring for his country, with just one assist to his name: in Colombia’s 1-0 win over Ghana in the competition’s round of 32.

After the Colombian international, with Rodrigo Zalazar and Maxi Araújo already having arrived, Ousmane Diomande and Zeno Debast are also still yet to join up. The latter, despite not playing any minutes in the competition, was the Sporting player who went furthest in the tournament, representing Belgium.

In 2025/26, wearing the Sporting shirt, Luis Suárez – valued at €30 million – made 53 appearances: 32 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, 12 in the Champions League, seven in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup. In the 4,367 minutes he was on the pitch, the centre-forward scored 38 goals and provided seven assists.
