Sporting star back from injury but ruled out against Famalicão | OneFootball

The physical condition of Luis Suárez has once again raised concerns at the Academy. In the last Classic, the forward physically gave way and, at the same time, accumulated his fifth yellow card, resulting in an automatic one-game suspension. The Colombian will be mandatorily managed in the match against Famalicão, but, like Geny, he does not have any injuries, allowing him to return to Rui Borges' squad for the following game against Moreirense.

With the absence of Fotis Ioannidis, the South American has been making an extra effort since the beginning of the year, according to the newspaper 'Record'. At the Estádio do Dragão, he completed his 12th consecutive game without being substituted, accumulating physical wear. The demanding cycle includes high-intensity clashes against teams like Porto, Paris Saint-Germain, or Athletic Bilbao.

At the Academy, the priority now is to turn the suspension into a recovery opportunity, allowing Suárez to undertake appropriate physical work and be in the best condition for the game in Moreira de Cónegos. The forced rest is therefore essential to keep the striker prepared for upcoming challenges.

Despite the difficulties, the athlete - who has been coveted in the market - remains confident and motivated. On social media, he shared psalms that reflect his state of mind: “Even when we go through difficult moments and tests, it is important to say ‘Thanks to God’. Always stay joyful,” wrote the 'jersey 97'.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has played 35 matches: 21 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, eight in the Champions League, four in the Taça de Portugal, one in the Taça da Liga, and another in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. In the 2,769 minutes he was on the field, the striker scored 26 goals and made four assists.
