Rui Borges brings good and bad news as Sporting return to training | OneFootball

Sporting resumed work this Thursday in Alcochete, after two days of rest granted by Rui Borges following the defeat against Vitória de Guimarães (1-2) in the semi-finals of the Allianz Cup. Upon returning to training, the coach had a new addition to the squad.

Geny Catamo rejoined the session after serving with the Mozambique national team in the African Cup of Nations. Although the African team did not qualify for the round of 16, the Sporting winger gained some playing time in the competition.

As has been customary, Rui Borges once again turned to the B team, calling up young players Daniel Ciesielski, Guilherme Silva, Rodrigo Dias, and Flávio Gonçalves, as revealed by Sporting through their official channels.

Still absent from the field was Zeno Debast. The Belgian center-back is almost recovered from the left knee injury suffered on October 22, during the match against Marseille in the third round of the UEFA Champions League, and is expected to be available for the next league game against Casa Pia, scheduled for the 16th.

The medical report still includes Salvador Blopa, Eduardo Quaresma, Mangas, Quenda, Nuno Santos, Pedro Gonçalves, and Fotis Ioannidis. Ousmane Diomande was also absent, as he continues to represent the Ivory Coast national team in the African Cup of Nations.
