Sporting injury doubt: player may miss PSG clash | OneFootball

Rui Borges is starting to gain some solutions, following the returns of Daniel Bragança, Zeno Debast, and Ricardo Mangas, but the medical situation at Sporting is still far from resolved. The list of absences remains extensive and it is not certain that it will shorten in time for the match against PSG, despite the expectations surrounding Ousmane Diomande's situation.

The defender - who continues to be sought after in the market - returned from the African Cup of Nations with a muscle discomfort and, upon the team's return to training at the Academy, has not yet worked on the field. He is, therefore, doubtful for the clash with the Parisians and is racing against time to try to recover.

The uncertainties extend to the attack, with Fotis Ioannidis being re-evaluated daily due to problems with his left knee and Salvador Blopa nearing a return after a calf muscle injury. On the other hand, Hidemasa Morita will return to the starting lineup, considering Morten Hjulmand's new suspension.

It is already certain that Pote will not be available for the Champions League match, with the Portuguese international's return expected for the trip to Arouca in the next league round. After being sidelined for about a month and a half due to a right thigh muscle injury, the medical department is maintaining a cautious approach to avoid any relapse.

In the current 2025/26 sports season, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – has played 12 matches for Sporting: six in the Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In total, the central defender has accumulated 947 minutes.
