Rui Borges, Sporting's coach, spoke about the clinical state of two players on the team. The coach updated the situation of João Simões and Nuno Santos, both currently sidelined due to injury.

Regarding Nuno Santos, the coach revealed that the player continues to undergo specific recovery work, describing the process as something that requires patience. The player remains unavailable for the team.

In João Simões's case, the news is more encouraging. Rui Borges stated that the central defender could be returning to competition as early as next week, depending on the evolution of his recovery process.

Sporting thus awaits the return of these two players, with João Simões being the closest to returning to the coaching staff's disposal.

The success of the far-right leader shakes Australia

Pauline Hanson, leader of the Australian far right and founder of the One Nation party, threatens to break the bipartisanship that has prevailed in Australian democracy. At 73 years old and an admirer of Donald Trump, Hanson is preparing for a major electoral leap in the federal elections scheduled for 2028, with polls giving her 30% voting intention, above the Labor Party (in government) and the Coalition (liberals and conservatives), the main traditional forces. It is the first time that a third party surpasses traditional Australian parties in opinion polls.
