Tito Arantes Fontes defended Matheus Reis. The topic came up when the former president of the Stromp Group gave his preview for the classic match between Sporting and Porto, scheduled for 8:30 PM next Saturday, in which he showed great confidence.

“We have a great team and we are confident that we will continue this way! Even better! And - let’s not forget - strengthened with the recoveries. Each with their own timing of the recently injured Diomande and Maxi Araújo, to be joined by the 'old' Nuno Santos and Daniel Bragança,” he wrote for the Record newspaper.

Next, Tito Arantes Fontes talked about the main subject of the article, Matheus Reis, who will be ready for the match against Porto: “Obviously, with Matheus Reis available, having completed the four games unjustly imposed on him by the federative justice.”

The Sporting – Porto - for which Rui Borges has already given his preview - is scheduled for next Saturday at 8:30 PM at the José Alvalade Stadium. The game corresponds to the fourth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic and pits two of the current three leaders of the competition against each other, alongside Moreirense. The match will be refereed by João Gonçalves.

In 2024/25, Matheus Reis - valued at 6 million euros - played 46 matches: 30 in the championship, eight in the Champions League, six in the Portuguese Cup, and two in the League Cup. In total, the defender played 2,241 minutes, during which he contributed with two assists.
