After beating Nottingham Forest, Sporting face one more test pre-season | OneFootball

Sporting officially wrapped up pre-season against Nottingham Forest, whom they beat 4-1, but the first team will be back in action on Saturday morning. Rui Borges will oversee a training match against 1.º Dezembro at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy.

The match against the Sintra club will be played behind closed doors and will consist of two 35-minute halves. The session will allow the Sporting coach to give competitive minutes to players who have been used less or were absent from the final pre-season friendly.

Daniel Bragança and Luis Suárez, who were not included in the squad for the match played in the Algarve, are expected to be among the options. The midfielder’s future remains undecided, while the striker is looking to regain his place in the green-and-whites’ attacking pecking order.

The day will also feature two more matches involving Sporting’s youth sides. Sporting’s B team, coached by Tiago Fernandes, faces Alverca from 1:00 pm, continuing its preparations for the new season.

The Sporting Academy will therefore have another busy day, just a few days before the first team’s league opener against Estrela da Amadora.
