Sporting injury: player hints at quick return on social media | OneFootball

Nuno Santos hopes to be able to take the field wearing the Sporting jersey before the end of 2025. The player is in the final stages of recovering from a rupture of the patellar tendon in his right knee and made an interesting post on social media.

While he is not yet back to playing, and as a 'teaser' for his return which is now closer, Nuno Santos posted a photo of himself celebrating a goal in Paços de Ferreira two seasons ago, shared by Sporting, and added an hourglass emoji.

Sporting plays on Saturday at Mata Real for the Cup and the team recalled some images from their recent trips to the capital of furniture, including Nuno Santos celebrating a goal in the 2022/23 season, in a match that Sporting won 4-0, with the left-footed player scoring a goal of great class.

The winger was injured on October 26, 2024. It is worth noting that this is the third time in his career that the player has suffered a serious injury to his right knee. He had previously suffered a rupture of the patellar tendon in that part of his body in 2015, while playing for Benfica, and again in 2018, when he was with Rio Ave.

In the 2024/25 season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Nuno Santos – valued at 7 million euros – played only 10 matches: seven in the Liga Portugal Betlic, two in the Champions League, and one in the Portuguese Cup. In the 606 minutes he was on the field, the athlete scored one goal (Sturm Graz) and made one assist (Portimonense).
