Rui Borges faces two new absences in Sporting’s last training | OneFootball

After the resounding 6-0 victory at home against AVS last Saturday, December 13, Sporting held a training session at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, where Rui Borges already had two more absences: Ousmane Diomande and Geny Catamo, who joined their respective national teams.

In the most recent training session, held on Sunday, the starters from the 14th round match of Liga Portugal Betclic did recovery exercises, while the remaining players trained as usual on the pitch under the orders of the Mirandela coach.

Pote, Zeno Debast, Geovany Quenda, and Nuno Santos remain under the care of the medical department and are confirmed absences for the next match against Santa Clara in the Portuguese Cup. However, aside from these four players out due to physical issues, Rui Borges will also be without Diomande and Geny, who are set to play in the AFCON.

After the aforementioned training session, the Sporting coach and some players still had time to watch the B team's 1-0 defeat to Vizela, in a match that took place last Sunday, also in Alcochete. This Monday is a day off, with the Lions set to return on Tuesday.

The green and white team will be back on the pitch next Thursday, December 14, against Santa Clara, in a match for the round of 16 of the Portuguese Cup. The game against the team led by Vasco Matos will be played at 18:45, away, in the Azores.
