Sporting is preparing the reception to Galatasaray, in a game that is part of the team's scheduling for the upcoming competitive commitments. Tuesday morning's training served as preparation for this European encounter.
Coach Rui Borges faces an important challenge with a novelty in the working group, but also faces three confirmed absences in the main squad for this preparation session.
To make up for the absences at training, Rui Borges called up a new face from Sporting's B team, integrating this player into the work with the main squad for the first time.
This unusual call-up for the morning training reveals that the coach is evaluating options for the game against Galatasaray, resorting to young players from the club's secondary structure to complete the preparation work.
