Gonçalo Inácio regains his place in Sporting's starting lineup for the match against Rio Ave, which takes place in Vila do Conde. The central defender had been left out of the starting team in recent matches and now returns to the starting eleven for this away game.
Ioannidis, on the other hand, is fully recovered from injury and returns to the Lions' call-up list for this Portuguese league match. The striker's recovery is an added value for Amorim's team, which thus gains another option in attack.
