Sporting with updates on Zeno Debast after several setbacks | OneFootball

Zeno Debast is expected to rejoin Sporting’s training sessions this week. After some doubts regarding the return of the Belgian international, it is anticipated that he could be called up in time for the home match against Casa Pia, scheduled for next Friday, January 16.

Adding further weight to these reports, the ‘number 6’ for the green and whites shared an image on his social media last Sunday featuring an hourglass. Now, depending on how he responds to his return to training, Rui Borges will only decide whether to include the player for the match against the ‘gansos’ on the eve of the game, according to the newspaper Record.

For now, the Belgian center-back is still recovering from the left knee injury he sustained on October 22 against Marseille, during the UEFA Champions League group stage, and has not yet resumed training at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy. The expectation in the Sporting dressing room is that, after the two days off granted, the player will be fit to return to training sessions.

In addition to Zeno Debast, the medical department continues to monitor the rehabilitation of several other players sidelined from the pitch, including Eduardo Quaresma, Ricardo Mangas, Nuno Santos, Pedro Gonçalves, and Fotis Ioannidis. On the other hand, Ousmane Diomande will also be available after being eliminated from the AFCON.

This season, Zeno Debast – valued at 30 million euros – has played 13 official matches for Sporting. The Belgian international has, so far, accumulated 855 minutes of play, but is yet to score or provide an assist.
