Rui Borges set to shake up Sporting’s starting eleven | OneFootball

Pote is unavailable for Rui Borges due to suspension, but the coach has Geny Catamo at his disposal. The Mozambican international winger is back in contention for the clash between Sporting and Moreirense, which takes place this Saturday, February 21.

On his way to his best season with the Lions, Geny Catamo was a substitute in the match against Famalicão, but it is almost certain that he will start tomorrow in Moreira de Cónegos, against Moreirense. The winger is said to have renewed his contract with Sporting until 2029.

The Mozambican winger thus regains his place in the starting eleven and should appear on the right wing, pushing Luís Guilherme to the opposite side. Geny Catamo's absence against Famalicão was due to the management of his physical condition, as the player complained of discomfort after the match against Porto.

The Lions’ medical department suspected the situation might be more serious, estimating a recovery period of two to four weeks. However, the worst-case scenario did not materialize and Geny Catamo ended up on the bench against the team from Minho and only took part in the match because the Lions took a while to find the key to victory, sealed in the 82nd minute by Daniel Bragança.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Geny Catamo – valued at 15 million euros – has played 28 matches. In the 1,648 minutes he has been on the pitch, the left-footer, who is under contract until June 2028, has scored six goals and assisted his teammates on four occasions.
