Updates on Pote and Ioannidis ahead of Braga v Sporting | OneFootball

Rui Borges has not taken risks with the use of Pote and Ioannidis in recent matches. Journalist Bruno Fernandes provides further clarification on the physical condition of both players. Together, they have scored 17 goals and provided nine assists.

"Pote has been coming off the bench. Against Estoril, he didn’t even leave the bench, and against Porto, he played only 20 minutes. He has minor muscle pains that prevent the playmaker from playing more than 40/45 minutes," he said in a video for his media outlet.

Regarding the Greek striker, the journalist reports that the Hellenic player will have to undergo a test. "He has an issue with his left knee that dates back to last year and causes him some discomfort. The player always takes a test on match day, and it looks like he will be traveling with the squad to Braga," he revealed.

Given Pote’s situation, Luís Guilherme is expected to remain on standby for the match against Braga, scheduled for Saturday at Pedreira, at a time when the youngster has been making the most of his minutes to earn a place in Rui Borges’ technical options.

The green and white team will take the field next Saturday, March 7, against Braga. The match, part of the 25th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side led by Carlos Vicens, will be played at the Estádio Municipal de Braga at 18:00.
