Head in hands! Sporting signing misses training... with injury | OneFootball

Sporting continued their preparations this Saturday for the friendly against Strasbourg, but Rui Borges was missing one player in the training session. Silas Andersen did not take part in training due to physical issues, thus missing another stage of the Lions’ preparations.

Despite his absence, the situation of the Danish midfielder is not causing concern within the Club. The decision not to use him in training was reportedly taken as a precaution, given the heavy workload during this preparation period and the need to avoid any physical setback, according to the newspaper 'Record'.

Rui Borges gathered the group before the usual possession exercise. One of the standout names in the session was Rodrigo Zalazar, who continues to adapt to the new environment at Alvalade, showing good spirits and positive integration with the rest of his teammates, particularly his closeness with Eduardo Quaresma and Ricardo Mangas.

In addition to Silas Andersen, the Sporting coach still cannot count on other players who are sidelined. Nuno Santos and Iván Fresneda are continuing with specific work away from the group, while João Simões and Bruno Ramos also remain unavailable.

On Monday, the Lions later face Strasbourg at 20:15 at the Algarve Stadium.
