Rui Borges prepares for trip to London, but Sporting trio still absent | OneFootball

Sporting’s squad trained on Sunday morning at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, following the 1-0 victory over Estrela da Amadora in the 29th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. Rui Borges’ team are now turning their attention to the Champions League, where they are set to face Arsenal in London.

As usual in the training session, the players who started the match against the tricolours did recovery work, while the remaining squad members trained normally on the pitch, beginning preparations for the next challenge.

As part of that preparation, after the day off granted for Monday, 13 April, the Lions will return to work the following day, in a session where Rui Borges is expected to have practically all available players at his disposal, although still limited by a few absences due to injury.

Ioannidis, Nuno Santos and Luís Guilherme remain under the care of the green-and-white medical department, and are confirmed absentees at this stage, while Sporting adjust their strategy to return to winning ways in the league and resume their push for a possible third straight title.

. The match, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Mikel Arteta’s side, will be played at 8:00 pm at the Emirates Stadium.
