Salvador Blopa handed major boost on the eve of Juventus v Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting traveled this Monday, November 3rd, to Italy, heading to Turin, where they will face Juventus in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage. Salvador Blopa was called up by Rui Borges and is included in the squad for the match against the Italian side.

In addition to the young winger, Diego Callai, Rayan Lucas, Rodrigo Ribeiro, and Bruno Ramos also joined the green and white delegation heading to Turin, with the call-up of the 18-year-old directly related to the fact that Iván Fresneda is unavailable due to injury.

Besides the 21-year-old Spanish full-back, who left the last match with physical problems and will therefore miss the game in Italy, Zeno Debast, Daniel Bragança, and Nuno Santos were also not at Rui Borges' disposal. In another development, it is worth noting that Luis Suárez has been training with his right knee bandaged, although he is among the 25 players called up.

Sporting arrives in Italy today and will preview the match from there with Rui Borges – who reacted to Wolverhampton's interest – and Fotis Ioannidis answering journalists' questions. Tuesday's match is against the sixth-placed team in Serie A, which has only two points in the Champions League, but now with a new coach: Luciano Spaletti, who has already debuted with a 2-1 win away at Cremonese.

Check out Sporting's squad list: Goalkeepers: Rui Silva, João Virgínia, and Diego Callai; Defenders: Vagiannidis, Eduardo Quaresma, Diomande, Gonçalo Inácio, Bruno Ramos, Matheus Reis, Ricardo Mangas, and Maxi Araújo; Midfielders: Rayan Lucas, Hidemasa Morita, Kochorashvili, João Simões, and Hjulmand; Forwards: Rodrigo Ribeiro, Ioannidis, Pedro Gonçalves, Geny Catamo, Luis Suárez, Geovany Quenda, Allison, Salvador Blopa, and Francisco Trincão.
