Two key absences for Arouca v Sporting | OneFootball

In a context of improving standings (rising to 15th place), after the victory (1-0) at Aves SAD's ground, Vasco Seabra is preparing Arouca's reception of Sporting - which is in search of a record - next Saturday, for the 19th round of Liga Portugal Betclic.

A match where important objectives of maintenance and title contention are at stake, respectively, for which the wolves' coach will be without midfielder Pedro Santos and striker Dylan Nandín - both out due to physical issues.

After a long period of absence due to injury, the Portuguese midfielder returned in good form to the starting eleven from the 14th to the 17th round, but did not return for the match played in Vila das Aves, an absence that is expected to extend over the coming rounds.

Dealing with a new injury, Dylan Nandín also missed the previous round and remains under the care of the medical department, with doubts persisting about a timely recovery for the match against the leonine team. His presence in the reception of Sporting remains uncertain.

Without Pedro Santos and without David Simão, who parted ways with the club on Monday, Vasco Seabra has several alternatives to compose the midfield. The position of attacking the leonine goal will continue to be entrusted to Barbero, the Spanish forward who debuted by scoring, securing the wolves the three points won in the previous round.

Recall that Sporting takes the field this Saturday, January 24th, against Arouca. The match, part of the 19th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Vasco Seabra, will be played at the Municipal Stadium of Arouca at 6:00 PM.
