Sporting back in training: Rui Borges faces two absences, one returns | OneFootball

Sporting returned to training this Monday, October 26th. Rui Borges continued preparations for the next match, valid for the quarter-finals of the League Cup. The coach of the green and whites is preparing a real revolution in the lineup that faced Tondela.

As usual, the starters from the last match did recovery work at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy. The remaining players were at Rui Borges' disposal, with a highlight on Hidemasa Morita, who trained normally after missing the trip to Beira Alta.

With only two days of rest between matches, the Sporting coach is forced to rotate almost the entire team, as excessive use of the players can lead to muscle injuries and the lions return to the Championship on Friday (October 31st).

Sporting returns to the field on Tuesday, October 28th, against Alverca. The match, counting for the quarter-finals of the League Cup, against the team led by Custódio, will be played at the José Alvalade Stadium at 8:15 PM.

In the same round of the previous edition, the lions beat Nacional 3-1. In the final four held in Leiria, Rui Borges' team defeated Porto in the 'semis' (1-0) with a goal from Viktor Gyokeres and fell in the final against Benfica, in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in regular time.
