Pedro Gonçalves gives Sporting fans big boost before derby | OneFootball

Pedro Gonçalves is back in training with Sporting and is expected to be an option for the game against Estrela da Amadora, counting for the 13th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The lions can once again count on one of the standout players since the beginning of the season.

Rui Borges conducted another training session at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy on the morning of this Friday, November 28th. The big news was the significant reinforcement for the green and white coach - Pedro Gonçalves was declared fit by the Performance Unit and participated in the green and white activities with the rest of the main squad.

Thus, Sporting now has only four players on the medical bulletin, still away from the fields. Zeno Debast and Fotis Ioannidis are players who got injured during the season, and joining this duo are Daniel Bragança and Nuno Santos, with issues from the previous season.

Regarding Pedro Gonçalves, according to the newspaper Record, Sporting wants to manage his return to competition, also with an eye on the derby with Benfica. Therefore, the plan for the Portuguese international is a limitation of 45 minutes in the match against Estrela da Amadora, so as not to compromise his participation in the encounter with the second circular rivals.

Sporting returns to training on the morning of next Saturday, in a closed-door session, which will also be the last before the next match. Coach Rui Borges will then hold the press conference previewing the game against Estrela da Amadora, which takes place next Sunday, November 30th, at 6:00 PM.
