Sporting injury scare: player to be assessed, Rui Borges frustrated | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Alverca 5-1 and secured a spot in the final four of the League Cup. Eduardo Quaresma left with physical complaints after 84 minutes of play, something that leaves Rui Borges somewhat concerned about the Lions' center-back.

Quaresma was replaced by João Muniz and, according to recent information, it may be a traumatic injury. However, the center-back trained at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy will be re-evaluated this Wednesday, upon returning to training.

In principle, Eduardo Quaresma's injury is not serious, but it may be enough to sideline the center-back from the Lions' next match. Sporting's medical department will analyze the situation and decide what to do with the young green and white defender.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Eduardo Quaresma - valued at 17 million euros - has played five matches. In this season's start, the under-21 international center-back for Portugal has played a total of 314 minutes, without scoring any goals or assisting teammates.

Sporting will return to the field this Friday, October 31, again against Alverca. The match, part of the tenth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Custódio, will be played at the José Alvalade Stadium, at 8:15 PM.
