Four injured, Rui Borges calls up B team talent for Sporting training | OneFootball

Despite having completed pre-season with Rui Borges' squad, the young prospect is currently with Sporting’s B team.

Rayan Lucas was the surprise in Sporting’s latest training session. After a day off last Tuesday, August 19, Rui Borges’ players returned to the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy in Alcochete to prepare for their trip to Madeira, where they will face Nacional.

After arriving on loan from Flamengo, the Brazilian midfielder took part in the latest training session after playing his first two official matches in the green and white stripes with the B team. Even so, the coach from Mirandela is well aware of the player’s qualities, as he was part of the main squad that went on the pre-season training camp in the Algarve.

It’s also worth noting the absences of Daniel Bragança, Nuno Santos, Ousmane Diomande, and Maxi Araújo, who were working with the Performance Unit. The Uruguayan international is expected to be sidelined for another two weeks, making him almost certain to miss the upcoming classic against Porto.

Still at Sporting, but with everything ready for his departure to be confirmed, is Jeremiah St. Juste. The Dutch centre-back returned to training at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy to maintain his fitness before deciding whether to accept the offer to move to Osasuna. The green light from the Dutch defender is the only detail missing for the deal to be completed.

It’s worth remembering that Sporting will be back in action next Saturday, August 23, against Nacional da Madeira. The match against the island side, counting for the third round of Liga Portugal, will be played at 18:00 at the opponent’s ground.
