Rui Borges handed major boost as key player returns to Sporting training | OneFootball

Rui Borges finally had Pedro Gonçalves back in training during the session he led on the morning of Friday, November 28. The Lions continue to prepare for the match against Estrela da Amadora, corresponding to the 13th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, where they will already be able to count on the green and white midfielder.

Rui Borges led another training session at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy on the morning of Friday, November 28. The big news was a major reinforcement for the green and white coach – Pedro Gonçalves was declared fit by the Performance Unit and took part in the green and white training with the rest of the main squad.

Thus, Sporting now has only four players on the medical report, still sidelined from the pitch. Zeno Debast and Fotis Ioannidis are players who were injured during the current season, and joining this pair are Daniel Bragança and Nuno Santos, who are dealing with issues from last season.

Regarding Pedro Gonçalves, according to the newspaper Record, Sporting wants to manage his return to competition, also with an eye on the derby against Benfica. Therefore, the plan for the Portuguese international is a 45-minute limit in the match against Estrela da Amadora, so as not to jeopardize his participation in the clash with their rivals from the second ring road.

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