Rui Borges expected to be fit for Sporting v Moreirense | OneFootball

Sporting is preparing for the clash against Moreirense, a match that marks the return of the green and whites to the National Championship after their victory over Kairat (4-1). Rui Silva missed the last two games, but he is expected to recover in time for the match, even though he has not trained.

Although his recovery is not 100% certain, since he was absent in the match against Famalicão and in the Champions League duel, the 31-year-old player, who is dealing with a finger problem, is seen as recoverable in time for the sixth round.

João Virgínia has been Rui Silva’s replacement and has performed well. Geny Catamo, who is only expected to be fit at the end of this month, as well as long-term injured players Daniel Bragança and Nuno Santos, will not be options for Rui Borges in the match against the Cónegos.

He is already doing conditioned training on the pitch.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Rui Silva – valued at 7 million euros – has played five matches. The Portuguese international started in all the games played by the green and whites, playing 450 minutes, during which he conceded four goals.
