Diomande knows what awaits him ahead of Napoli v Sporting | OneFootball

Before the Napoli - Sporting match, Rui Borges assured that Ousmane Diomande is called up, but he "will not be a starter."

Ousmane Diomande will start the match against Napoli on the bench. The confirmation was given by Rui Borges, assuring that, despite the Sporting center back being recovered, starting is, for now, out of the question.

"He is training, he is going for the game, but there are many conditions. He will not be a starter," assured the green and white coach, who will continue to bet on a central pair composed of Zeno Debast and Gonçalo Inácio, as has been since the 'jersey 26' injury.

The Sporting coach was also asked about the right-back, having Georgios Vagiannidis and Iván Fresneda as options: "The most important thing is that everyone is connected. Everyone must be ready to play. The best team will enter," said Rui Borges.

Sporting will take the field again this Wednesday, October 1, against Napoli, in a match for the second round of the regular phase of the Champions League. The match against the team led by Antonio Conte will be played at 8pm, at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
