Alarm at Alvalade! Sporting face Vitória SC with major issue | OneFootball

Sporting returned to training at the Academy this Saturday, with their full focus on the clash against Vitória de Guimarães, scheduled for Monday at 8:15 pm. The session took place behind closed doors, away from the fans, but with several limitations in the squad.

Rui Borges once again had to deal with a delicate situation, with five confirmed absences in training. Fotis Ioannidis, Iván Fresneda, Morten Hjulmand, Gonçalo Inácio and João Simões remain under the care of the medical department, continuing their respective recovery plans.

These five absences are also ruled out for the match against the Minho side, significantly reducing the options available to the Sporting coach for an important game at this stage of the season. On the other hand, there is a positive note in the green-and-white squad: Geny Catamo, who had some limitations after the game against Tondela, is now training without restrictions and should be available for the match.

Before the clash, Rui Borges - who recently renewed his contract - will still oversee one more training session at the Academy and will give the official pre-match press conference this Sunday at 12:30 pm, where he is expected to address the available options and the team’s current situation.

Sporting will return to action next Monday, May 4, against Vitória SC. The match, part of matchday 32 of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side coached by Gil Lameiras, will kick off at 8:15 pm at the Estádio José Alvalade.
