Attention Sporting! Update on Pedro Gonçalves’ return has fans smiling | OneFootball

Pedro Gonçalves returned to the pitch this Thursday, November 27. The Sporting player took advantage of the green and whites’ training session, led by coach Rui Borges, to go for a run at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy.

The midfielder from Sporting has been injured since Sporting’s trip to the Azores, which resulted in a 2-1 victory over Santa Clara. As such, he was not at Rui Borges’ disposal, having done gym work, complemented by this run on the pitches of the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy.

Pedro Gonçalves thus sends a strong signal to Sporting fans that his return to competition is near. The player should already be available for the derby against Benfica, which will take place soon, but there is even a possibility he could get some minutes in the next match, against Estrela da Amadora.

After Thursday’s training session, Sporting will return to work on the morning of next Friday, November 28. Rui Borges will lead another closed-door session, and there is hope that Pedro Gonçalves may already join his teammates. However, we will have to wait to confirm this situation.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Pedro Gonçalves—valued at 30 million euros—has already played 17 games: 11 in Liga Portugal, four in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. During the 1,394 minutes he has played, the ‘number 8’ of the Lions has already scored nine goals and provided six assists.
