Rui Borges with mixed news ahead of Benfica v Sporting | OneFootball

Pedro Gonçalves continues his return to top form, and has resumed training without any limitations, just two days before Benfica - Sporting, the derby counting for the 13th round of Liga Portugal Betclic. The Portuguese midfielder was recently injured, but already played a few minutes in the last match against Estrela da Amadora.

Rui Borges once again led a training session for the main squad of Sporting this Wednesday, December 3rd, after giving the green and white players a day off. As for good news, Pedro Gonçalves was the main highlight, since he showed no setbacks in his recovery from the recent injury.

On the other hand, Fotis Ioannidis remains out of Rui Borges’ options, which brings his absence from Benfica - Sporting closer to confirmation. The Greek forward was injured in the same match as Pedro Gonçalves, but has not yet received the ‘ok’ to return to competition.

Thus, Fotis Ioannidis has joined Zeno Debast, Nuno Santos, and Daniel Bragança in the group of Sporting players assigned to the Club’s Performance Unit at Alvalade. Other than that, Rui Borges can count on all the other players, in what will be the penultimate training session before the match against Benfica.

Benfica - Sporting. After that, Rui Borges will face the journalists for the press conference previewing the derby of the 13th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, scheduled for next Friday, December 5th, at 8:15 pm, at Estádio da Luz.
