Rui Borges relieved: three return for Sporting v PSG | OneFootball

The work in Sporting's clinical department is finally starting to ease. Just like Pedro Gonçalves, Ricardo Mangas and Salvador Blopa, both sidelined due to muscular problems, are almost fully recovered and may even be reintegrated into the squad after the match against Casa Pia, already scheduled for next weekend.

The 27-year-old left-back sustained a muscle injury after the thrashing against Rio Ave (4-0) on December 28. Since then, he missed the games against Gil Vicente, for the championship, and against Vitória de Guimarães, in the Allianz Cup, and is now ready to return to the Champions League options.

The young winger, aged 18, is in a similar situation, having been forced to pause his progress due to complaints in the calves of his left leg. Like Mangas, Blopa was also sidelined after the emphatic victory against the team from Vila do Conde, but he is also aiming for a return next Tuesday, January 20.

After weeks marked by forced absences, the scenario is beginning to reverse at Alvalade, and after the storm, calm is starting to settle in Rui Borges' squad. Meanwhile, Zeno Debast is also expected to return to the coach's options.

Sporting will return to the field on Friday, January 16, against Casa Pia. The match, part of the 18th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Álvaro Pacheco, will be played at 8:15 PM, in Alvalade.
