Sporting starter trains without knee support, easing Borges’ worries | OneFootball

Luis Suárez’s physical condition has raised some concern at Alvalade, after the forward appeared in recent games and training sessions with a bandage on his right knee. However, good news is coming from Colombia, as the 27-year-old forward was seen in images from the final training session of the ‘cafeteros’ without any protective gear.

This minor injury even limited the ‘number 97’ in the matches against Juventus, in the Champions League, and Santa Clara, in Liga Portugal Betclic. Now, the player is training without any bandage on the affected area.

In the most recent posts from the official account of the Colombian federation, it’s possible to see some photos where Suárez appears, without protection, training under Néstor Lorenzo’s orders. Thus, this turns out to be good news for Sporting, who may be able to count on the forward at 100%.

The player from the green and whites is expected to feature in the next match for the ‘cafetera’ team, after being rested in the win against New Zealand (2-1). Now, against Australia, in the early hours (01:00), Suárez is expected to get some minutes.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has played 17 matches: 11 in Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. In 1,182 minutes, the striker has scored eight goals and provided two assists.
