Attention! Sporting could have two injured players fit for Portuguese Cup | OneFootball

Sporting return to training this Tuesday to prepare for the Portuguese Cup final against Torreense, scheduled for Sunday at 5:15 pm at the Estádio Nacional. The Lions’ training session will take place at the Jamor itself, starting at 11:00 am, with the first 15 minutes open to the media.

Rui Borges could receive good news before the match that brings Sporting’s season to a close. Iván Fresneda is still recovering from inflammation in a tendon in the pubic area and is pushing to return to the coach’s options, after not playing since the win against Estrela da Amadora on April 11.

Fotis Ioannidis is also closer to returning and there is still hope he could be included. The Greek international striker has not played since February 21, when Sporting beat Moreirense 3-0, due to a ligament injury in his right knee.

In recent weeks, the return of the 'number 89' has been repeatedly postponed, but Rui Borges himself already admitted, after the win over Gil Vicente, that Fotis Ioannidis could return to the squad for the Portuguese Cup final.

Despite these two hopeful signs for the Sporting coach ahead of the country’s premier cup competition, Zeno Debast and João Simões remain unavailable to the green-and-whites, both injured and with no chance of recovering in time for the clash at the Jamor.
