Rui Borges leads Sporting back to training with a fresh face in the squad | OneFootball

Countdown to the clash with Famalicão. Sporting held another training session this morning, February 13, at the Academy in Alcochete, under the guidance of Rui Borges, continuing the preparation for Sunday's reception of the Minho team.

The main news was the integration of Rafael Nel into the group, unlike the previous day. The 20-year-old forward, one of the standout figures of the B team this season, was called up by the coach and is eyeing a possible call-up, considering the confirmed absence of Luis Suárez, who is suspended for this round.

Besides Rafael Nel, Gabriel Silva, an 18-year-old forward who also plays in the secondary team, as well as midfielders Eduardo Felicíssimo and Manuel Mendonça, both from the youth ranks, also participated in Sporting's training.

Regarding the medical report, there are no updates. Fotis Ioannidis and Zeno Debast, who are in the final stages of recovery from their respective injuries, are still not training on the field. Meanwhile, Geny Catamo and Geovany Quenda are out of options for Sunday's match.

The green and white emblem will return to the field next Sunday, February 15, against Famalicão. The match, part of the 22nd round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Hugo Oliveira, will be played at 8:30 PM in Alvalade.
