The Archbishops’ miserable week has worsened even further with several of their key players out with injuries and International commitments.
It was one of the undoubted highest of highs when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 in the all Portuguese finale of the UEFA Europa League.
Fast-forward one season, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056 Jardim’s men have crashed out of the competition on the first time of asking, although their form in the Primeira Liga has been decent.
The club currently lie 3rd in the standings and are on course to securing yet another European berth. However a number of injury problems are threatening to derail their campaign, especially with players also being called for International duty.
While Estadio AXA may not be the ideal destination for top footballers, it still houses a number of International players, including the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ruben-Amorim-c31829, who have all been called up by the Seleccao.
Viana and Gomes are the leading lights at the helm and are responsible for most of the side’s attacking threat. With both of them going for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 friendlies, SC Braga will lose a lot of their firepower.
Players leaving for National team duty is one thing, but the number of injuries at the helm are also threatening to affect performances. Influential forward and captain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 is reportedly out with a sprain in his left-knee, which he suffered in the UEFA
Europa League tie with Besiktas.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Coelho-c9381 is also set to miss the Arsenalists’ crucial derby with Vitoria Guimaraes after dislocating his right shoulder against the Turkish giants.
While there are new names on the injury list, olds one are still there and are yet to fully recover. Defender Ewerton is out with a right adductor tendinopathy, while Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alberto-c4309 is suffering from muscle problems.
Mossoro has myalgia in his left thigh and alongside the majority of his teammates is struggling to be fit in time for the club’s Liga Sagres fixture against Guimaraes.
Without the bulk of his side, Leonardo Jardim has a selection headache in the derby. First team players are either sidelined in the treatment room or are on International duty, meaning that the tactician will have to field members from the fringe team or
the youth set-up in order to combat the Conquerors.
