Sporting stretched thin, international break hits Rui Borges’ squad | OneFootball

The national teams will 'take' 13 players from Rui Borges during the next FIFA break for international football. After the classic match with Porto, the called-up players went directly on break before the national team camps and did not return to the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy.

Meanwhile, the Sporting coach already knows that he will have many absentees in Alcochete, due to the call-ups for the respective national teams.

In total, 13 players have been called by their respective national team coaches and will travel to contribute to their country's team. The highlight goes to the Portuguese National Team, which includes four Sporting players: Rui Silva, Gonçalo Inácio, Pedro Gonçalves, and Francisco Trincão.

Joining these four are the names of Goevany Quenda and João Simões, who will be representing the national under-21 and under-19 teams, respectively, during the next FIFA international break. The two young players have had fewer minutes at Alvalade compared to last year.

Furthermore, Sporting sees the departure of players who usually represent their national teams, such as Hjulmand (Denmark); Luis Suárez (Colombia); Vagiannidis, Ioannidis (Greece); Geny Catamo (Mozambique); Kochorashvili (Georgia) and Debast (Belgium).
