Sporting are preparing for their first pre-season test against Celtic with some limitations in the squad, mainly due to injuries. Bruno Ramos, Iván Fresneda, Nuno Santos and João Simões are injured and will miss the match.
The Lions held another behind-closed-doors training session at their camp in Lagos, with the coach using the session to prepare the strategy for the friendly against the Scottish side. The match is scheduled for Tuesday at 5:30 pm at Estádio Algarve.
In defence, Rui Borges is facing greater difficulties due to the number of unavailable players. Eduardo Quaresma is currently the only centre-back from the main squad available, as Gonçalo Inácio, Ousmane Diomande and Zeno Debast have still not returned to training after their participation in the Club World Cup.
Despite the setbacks, the Lions are sticking to the plan set out for the training camp. During this Monday afternoon, 13 July, the players will continue doing additional work in the gym, with no morning game taking place.
