Heads up, Sporting! Rui Borges gets key update on first-team regular | OneFootball

Rui Borges is already aware of Pedro Gonçalves' physical condition. The 'number 8' of Sporting caused some concern to his coach, who was forced to substitute him due to injury, during the classic against Porto, played last Saturday, August 30th.

According to information advanced by Record newspaper, Pedro Gonçalves was dealing with cramps, a scenario that is not so worrying for Rui Borges and Sporting fans. Thus, the creative player will be fit to compete during the international break, which will interrupt domestic competitions.

It's worth remembering that Pote is one of the players from Sporting's squad called up by Roberto Martínez to represent the Portuguese National Team, along with Rui Silva, Gonçalo Inácio, and Francisco Trincão. Outside of the national team, Morten Hjulmand (Denmark), Luis Suárez (Colombia), Georgios Vagiannidis and Fotis Ioannidis (Greece), Geny Catamo (Mozambique), Georgi Kochorashvili (Georgia), Zeno Debast (Belgium), Geovany Quenda (Portugal U-21) and João Simões (Portugal U-19) were also called up.

At the start of this season, Pedro Gonçalves - valued at 30 million euros - has already played five games: four for the Portugal League and another for the Supercup. In a total of 426 minutes of participation, the 'number 8' of the lions has already scored three goals and two assists.

Sporting will thus return to the field only on Saturday, September 13, against Famalicão. The match, counting for the fifth round of the National Championship, which will be played against the team led by Hugo Oliveira, will take place in Minho at 8:30 pm.
