Rômulo Júnior handed great news ahead of Sporting v Porto | OneFootball

Rômulo Júnior was the big surprise in the training session of Sporting's main team, led by Rui Borges, this Tuesday, August 26. The lions continue to prepare for the match against Porto, next Saturday, August 30, which counts for the fourth round of Liga Portugal Betclic.

The coach promoted the rise of one of the talents of Sporting's B team, signed in the summer transfer window from Atlético de Mineiro, on loan, to reinforce the secondary team of the lions. The call may be related to some injuries that are being felt in Rui Borges' squad.

The green and white coach continues to be unable to count on five important players in Sporting's team, who are still in the Performance Unit. Ousmane Diomande is one of those names that is unavailable to help the team, which explains Rômulo's call to the main team's training session.

Otherwise, the other four absentees in the training session are expected names: Nuno Santos and Daniel Bragança, players who continue their recovery from serious injuries contracted last season, and Maxi Araújo and Hidemasa Morita, who are suffering from more recent physical problems.

Preparation for the match against Porto continues on Wednesday, August 27, with a closed-door training session in the morning. Sporting will face the northern team next Saturday, August 30, at the Estádio de Alvalade.
