Rui Borges knows if Souleymane Faye will be available for Arouca v Sporting | OneFootball

In the preview of the match against Arouca, held this Friday at the Alcochete Academy, Rui Borges stated that he is still uncertain about the possibility of using Souleymane Faye. However, everything is ready for the Senegalese winger to make his debut with the lion on his chest.

Meanwhile, the newspaper A Bola revealed that the process is resolved: the player is already registered in the League, will wear the number 15 jersey, and could even make his debut this Saturday, in the away match against Arouca, after being signed from Granada.

The squad list also includes Ousmane Diomande and Pedro Gonçalves, both returning after breaks due to muscular problems. The Ivorian defender returned from the African Cup of Nations with physical limitations, while the Portuguese international has not played since early December. The expectation is that both can add minutes in the 19th round of the championship.

Sporting returns to the field next Saturday, January 24th, against Arouca. The match, part of the 19th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Vasco Seabra, will be played at 6:00 PM, at the opponent's ground.

Currently, the green and whites occupy the second position in the National Championship standings, with 45 points. Benfica is in third place, with 42, while Porto leads the competition, with 52 points.
