Luis Suárez shone in November, but Sporting star named player of the month | OneFootball

Francisco Trincão, Sporting’s winger, won the award for Forward of the Month for November in the Portuguese League, gathering around 23.02 percent of the coaches’ votes, beating teammate Luis Suárez (20.63 percent) and Vangelis Pavlidis from Benfica (15.08 percent).

After being named the best forward of November last Wednesday, December 10, the player once again surpassed the same competitors. In the month under review, the 25-year-old Portuguese international started in the matches against the Azoreans of Santa Clara (2-1 win) and the tricolors of Estrela da Amadora (4-0 victory), recording two assists in the match against the Reboleira side.

The green and white player is currently injured and even missed the Lions’ trip to Munich to face Bayern in the Champions League (3-1 defeat), and he is also doubtful for the home game against AFS this Saturday, having missed Thursday’s training session.

The player hasn’t missed a league match since matchday 13 of the 2023/24 season, against Vitória de Guimarães, on December 9, 2023. The fact that he has stayed in Lisbon these days to undergo recovery work helps keep hopes alive that he will be available for the match against Aves.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Francisco Trincão – valued at 35 million euros – has played 21 matches. The Portuguese international forward has started in almost every official game. So far, he has recorded eight goals and five assists to his name.
