Sporting slip-ups? Luis Suárez made the most of his day off to... | OneFootball

Luis Suárez traveled to Almería. The player took advantage of the day off on Tuesday, August 19, to travel to his old home, after being an important part of the Sporting's thrashing of Arouca. The forward scored two goals in his debut at the Estádio de Alvalade and showed that he is ready to fill the gap left by Viktor Gyokeres.

According to information advanced by the newspaper Record, the 27-year-old Colombian returned to Almería to resolve some personal matters related to his move to Portugal, which still had to be dealt with, even after being officially announced as a reinforcement of the Green and White Club.

Despite the trip to Spanish territory, everything indicates that Luis Suárez will be present at the next training session led by Rui Borges. After the day off, the next training session was scheduled for the morning of this Wednesday, August 20, in a session to be held at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, in Alcochete, behind closed doors.

Since arriving at Sporting, the new 'shirt 97' of the lions has been surprising the various analysts of Portuguese football, as was the case of Sofia Oliveira, who praised the forward's abilities on her social network 'X': "There was a lot of talk about Gyokeres' physical availability to press - undeniable, of course -, but Luis Suárez adds tactical intelligence to that. It's rare not to choose the right timings and paths to condition the opponent's possession. I really think Sporting got it right."

This season, with the Green and White List, Luis Suárez - valued at 8 million euros - has played three games. The Colombian lion has participated in all three official matches at the start of the season: two for Liga Portugal and one for the Supertaça. In the 193 minutes he has been on the field, the forward has scored two goals.
