Pedro Goncalves News: Plays off bench Saturday

Goncalves (strain) featured off bench during Saturday's 2-1 win against Arouca, confirming he is an option moving forward for Sporting CP.

Goncalves has fully recovered from his muscle injury since he featured off bench in Saturday's win against Arouca. This is massive news for Sporting CP since he has been an undisputed starter and one of their best attacking threat and his return will be a boost ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Athletic Club. Goncalves could be short fitness-wise to start the game but there is no doubt that he will feature against the Basques.
