Sporting, featuring Ioannidis and Vagiannidis, hosts Alverca (August 22 – 10:30 p.m.) in the Portuguese league, aiming to earn three points and climb higher in the standings.
However, to do so, Rui Borges will have to figure out how to fill the void left by Fotis Ioannidis, since, as he revealed at the press conference, the international forward is on the sidelines due to an injury that has been plaguing him.
“Fresneda and Luis Suárez are available. Fotis is questionable until game time. He has an issue between his ribs and lower back, and that’s all I can say. I’ll make my decision later,” the “Lions’” coach emphasized.
The 26-year-old forward, we should note, has made a sensational start to the Portuguese league, having already scored two goals and provided two assists in his first two appearances thisseason.
