Sporting starter asked to come off at Famalicão, set for further assessment | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Famalicão 2-1 in the fifth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. Pote was the man of the match with a goal and an assist, but left Rui Borges quite concerned when he suffered a knock from an opponent and was in trouble.

In the second half, after Sporting had turned the game around, Pote fell on the pitch near the Sporting area, complaining for some time. After recovering, the Portuguese international requested a substitution but ended up staying on the field.

Pote's exit eventually happened in the 88th minute, with Alisson Santos being called into the game. Pote will naturally be reassessed by Sporting's medical department, but it seems that it was just a scare and he should be fit for the start of the Champions League campaign.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Pedro Gonçalves - valued at 30 million euros - has already played six games: five in the Liga Portugal and one in the Super Cup. During the 513 minutes he has played, the 'number 8' of the lions has scored four goals and provided three assists.

Sporting will be back on the field on Thursday, September 18, against Kairat Almaty. The match against the team led by Rafael Urazbakhtin, valid for the first round of the Champions League, will be played at the José Alvalade Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 8:00 PM.
