Ioannidis Nears Return with Moreirense in Greek Striker’s Sights
Rui Borges, coach of the team, is optimistic ahead of the upcoming Liga Betclic match against Moreirense. After a recent match missing key attacking players, he is set to welcome back Luis Suárez. Suárez had missed the previous game due to a suspension after receiving his fifth yellow card against FC Porto.
Ioannidis Set for a Comeback
Another notable return is that of Greek striker Ioannidis. He has been sidelined for over a month due to a knee ligament injury incurred during the League Cup semi-final against Vitória de Guimarães. That match ended in a 2-1 defeat for the team.
Injury Recovery and Team Impact
- Ioannidis suffered a traumatic injury to his left knee.
- He has been training on the field but awaits medical clearance to compete.
- During the last match against Famalicão, he watched from the stands.
Current indications suggest that Ioannidis may be in optimal condition to assist the team in the upcoming match scheduled for Saturday at 18:00.
Coaching Confidence
In a press conference following the victory against Famalicão, Rui Borges expressed confidence that Ioannidis could be present in Moreira de Cónegos. Additionally, Debast, who is recovering from a left thigh muscular injury, is also awaiting medical approval to return to full training and competition.
