Sporting Lisbon is finalizing preparations for the third round of the Liga, having held another training session in Alcochete this Friday. With just two days until the match against Alverca, the team is focusing on strategic and physical adjustments.

According to RTP, Ioannidis is in doubt due to fitness concerns, which may impact his participation in the match. In contrast, Luís Suárez could have the chance to return to the starting lineup, taking advantage of his teammate's situation.

The match between Sporting and Alverca is scheduled for this Saturday, where the Lions aim to secure a victory following a competitive start to the season and inconsistencies in performance.
