Geny Catamo ruled out for Sporting, but injury not the reason | OneFootball

Geny Catamo is the first confirmed casualty of Sporting for the next FIFA international break. Chiquinho Conde, the national selector of Mozambique, announced on the morning of this Thursday, August 21, his list of called-up players, which included the Leonine striker.

Geny Catamo will thus join the Mozambican delegation for the upcoming double challenge for the Mambas. The first challenge for Chiquinho Conde's selection will be played on September 5, with a new commitment on the 8th of the same month.

Mozambique's first opponent will be Uganda, and Geny Catamo's team will play this game away from home. Then, already on home soil, the Mambas will face Botswana. Both matches are part of the qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

Geny Catamo is thus part of Chiquinho Conde's final list, the former player of Clube de Alvalade, who selected 25 Mozambican footballers for the two challenges. In the initial list of pre-call-ups, announced a week and a half earlier, there were 54 athletes.

Rui Borges is thus getting used to the idea of having to work with a more reduced squad during the break for selections, considering that Geny Catamo – who may be leaving Sporting – is the first of several Leonine players who should be called up for their respective national teams.
