Rui Borges brings surprise name into Sporting training ahead of the derby | OneFootball

Rui Borges, from Sporting, led another training session, with a view to the match against Porto, and gave great news

Rui Borges called Rômulo to the Sporting training session this Tuesday, August 26. The lions continue their preparation with a view to the first classic of the season, which they will play against Porto next Saturday, August 30, in a match counting for the fourth round of Liga Portugal Betclic.

The coach promoted the rise of one of the talents of the Sporting B team, hired in the summer transfer window from Atlético de Mineiro, on loan, to reinforce the secondary team of the lions. The call may be related to some injuries that are being felt in Rui Borges' squad.

The green and white coach continues without being able to count on five important players in the Sporting team, who are still in the Performance Unit. Ousmane Diomande is one of those names that is unavailable to help the team, which explains the call to Rômulo to the first team's training.

Otherwise, the other four absentees in the training session are expected names: Nuno Santos and Daniel Bragança, players who continue their recovery from serious injuries contracted last season, and Maxi Araújo and Hidemasa Morita, who suffer from more recent physical problems.

Preparation for the match against Porto continues on Wednesday, August 27, with a closed-door training session in the morning. Sporting will face the northern team next Saturday, August 30, at the Alvalade Stadium.
