Sporting Prepares to Battle Aves SAD Amidst Key Injuries
Sporting vs Aves SAD: Match Overview
Sporting will encounter Aves SAD this Sunday night at Alvalade, struggling with numerous injuries, as announced by coach Rúben Amorim in a press conference. Key forwards Pedro Gonçalves and Edwards join goalkeepers Kovacevic and Diogo Pinto and defenders St. Juste, Eduardo Quaresma, and Gonçalo Inácio on the injury list and will not be a part of the match against the avenses.
In light of this injury crisis, Amorim is relying on young talents from the B team. Bruno Ramos, a 19-year-old Brazilian central defender, and João Simões, a 17-year-old offensive midfielder, have been summoned to bolster the squad.
Young Stars Set to Shine
Youthful Danish player Conrad Harder is poised to debut on the left side of the attack, taking advantage of Pedro Gonçalves’ injury. Harder has already seen action in the Champions League match against Lille and will start alongside Gyokeres and Francisco Trincão in the attacking trio.
Further changes in the lineup include Nuno Santos reclaiming his spot on the left wing, while Daniel Bragança steps in for Japanese midfielder Morita in the midfield. The right flank features Geovany Quenda, and the central defensive trio will consist of Zeno Debast, Ousmane Diomande, and Matheus Reis, with no surgeons expected this week.
