Pote’s condition after Sporting v Porto sets off alarm bells at Alvalade | OneFootball

Pote has already received an update on his health status. The 'number 8' of Sporting came out of the classic defeat against Porto with some physical complaints, having been replaced by Alisson Santos in the final stretch of the match. Despite leaving on his own, the player left the field limping.

According to information advanced by Record newspaper, Pedro Gonçalves found himself dealing with cramps, a scenario that is not so worrying for Rui Borges and Sporting fans. Thus, the creative player will be fit to compete during the international break, which will interrupt domestic competitions.

It is worth remembering that Pote is one of the players from Sporting's squad called up by Roberto Martínez to represent the Portuguese National Team, along with Rui Silva, Gonçalo Inácio, and Francisco Trincão. Outside the Portuguese team, Morten Hjulmand (Denmark), Luis Suárez (Colombia), Georgios Vagiannidis and Fotis Ioannidis (Greece), Geny Catamo (Mozambique), Georgi Kochorashvili (Georgia), Zenio Debast (Belgium), Geovany Quenda (Portugal under-21) and João Simões (Portugal under-19) were also called up.

At the start of this season, Pedro Gonçalves - valued at 30 million euros - has already played five games: four for the Portugal League and another for the Supercup. In a total of 426 minutes of participation, the 'number 8' of the lions has already scored three goals and two assists.

The Sporting will return to the field only on the weekend of September 13/14, against Famalicão. The match, counting for the fifth round of the National Championship, against the team led by Hugo Oliveira, will be played in Minho with the date and time yet to be determined.
