Sporting could spring four B team surprises for Alverca clash | OneFootball

Rui Borges is set to make a true revolution in Sporting's lineup for the match against Alverca. However, besides giving more minutes to main squad players with less game time, the Lions' coach will also include four players from the B team.

Diego Callai, Rayan Lucas, João Muniz, and Rodrigo Ribeiro were chosen by the green and white technical team to join the main squad at Estádio José Alvalade, this Tuesday, October 28. Therefore, they didn't participate in the last match of Sporting's secondary team.

Looking at the names, three are expected to gain minutes in this Allianz Cup match: that is, all except the young goalkeeper - since João Virgínia will take that position. For Muniz and Rayan, this would be an official debut for the A team, something that happened for Rodrigo Ribeiro in 2022.

With the victory in Tondela – the 10th in 14 matches this season – the team led by Rui Borges now has 22 points and is in second place on the Liga Portugal Betclic table. Porto (25) is the leader and Benfica is third, with 21.

Sporting will return to the field this Tuesday, October 28, against Alverca. The match, counting for the quarter-finals of the League Cup, against the team led by Custódio, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade, at 8:15 PM.
