Diomande and Rui Silva returns cast doubt at Sporting, deadlines set | OneFootball

Rui Borges announced that Sporting will not be able to count on Rui Silva, Ousmane Diomande, and Geny Catamo for the match against Moreirense, scheduled for this Monday, September 22, at Estádio José Alvalade. However, it is known that the return of these three players is expected soon.

Unlike Nuno Santos and Daniel Bragança, the previously mentioned trio should return to the options of the Alvalade club’s coach as early as next week, as revealed by the coach himself on the sidelines of the press conference previewing the sixth round of the National Championship.

Even so, according to the newspaper Record, it is only possible that Ousmane Diomande will be available for the away match against Estoril, scheduled for September 27. Still, if that does not happen, both the Ivorian and Rui Silva are expected to be 'fit' for the match against Napoli, in the Champions League, on October 1.

Sporting’s goalkeeper is recovering from swelling in his left hand, while Geny Catamo is dealing with muscle problems. As for Diomande, who has been out for a longer period, he is overcoming a muscle injury in his right thigh.

Sporting will be back on the pitch this Monday, September 22, against Moreirense, in a match for the sixth round of Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Vasco Botelho da Costa will be played at 8:15 PM at Estádio José Alvalade and the refereeing team is already known.
