Portuguese Cup in sight: Sporting prepare for Porto trip, 5 out | OneFootball

This Monday, April 20, Sporting began preparations for the clash with Porto, corresponding to the second leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals, scheduled for Wednesday at 8:45 pm at the Estádio do Dragão. After the defeat to Benfica, the Lions returned to the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy.

João Simões, Fotis Ioannidis, Nuno Santos, Iván Fresneda and Luís Guilherme remain on the injury list, all still under the care of the medical department. In the case of the first, the situation may be more 'serious' than initially expected and it is possible that he will not play again this season.

Another behind-closed-doors training session is scheduled for Tuesday morning, with the usual pre-match press conference by Rui Borges set for 12:00 pm. Sporting’s trip north will take place at the end of the day.

The green-and-white side will return to action next Wednesday, April 22, against Porto. The match, counting for the second leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals, against the team managed by Francesco Farioli, will be played at the Estádio do Dragão at 8:45 pm.

The team thanked the fans:
