Alberto Rodriguez out for Sporting Lisbon's derby against Benfica – Primeira Liga News
Sporting Lisbon’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alberto-Rodríguez-c4344 is reportedly out for the derby against Benfica. The defender has resumed his training duties but the weekend clash comes too quickly for him and he is likely to make his return against FC Zurich.
One of the biggest derbies in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984, the Lisbon rivalry between Benfica and Sporting takes place on the 27th of November. A hugely awaited clash which holds significance for both fans will be played at Estadio da Luz but both the teams have
been hit by a series of defensive injuries.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jardel-c17889 are considered to be capable replacements but none of them boast the experience or calmness of
the Brazilian International.
Without their main man, the Eagles will be vulnerable in defence and could be exploited by the Lions, but they are also facing similar problems like their rivals.
Alberto Rodriguez, a regular for Sporting, is not going to be able to feature tomorrow according to reports. The centre-back was ill recently and could not take part in any footballing action during that period.
However he has recently started training and is on his way back to full fitness. But the game against Benfica has to come too early for him and he is likely to be in the stands for this one.
Rodriguez will undergo further practise during the course of the week and according to reports, will then feature for the Sportinguistas in the UEFA Europa League against FC Zurich next week.
Although Domingos Paciência is going to be without the Peruvian, he still has the first-choice pairing at the helm. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Carriço-c9926 are reportedly fit for the tie and are going to be playing at the Stadium of Light.
However if one of them does suffer an injury during the match or in training, Paciência will face a dire problem, as he will not have any able deputy to bring on due to the absence of Alberto Rodriguez.
