Gladstone and Izmailov with complaints before the "derby"

Gladstone Izmailov failed in the training of Sporting this Monday, the two days of the "derby" with Benfica for the Cup of Portugal. The Russian has a sprain in tibiotársica right and the Brazilian central presents a trauma in the right knee, having both been as unfit.

With Polga unavailable for injury, the limitations of Gladstone complicate the options for Paulo Bento to the centre of defence. The good news in Alcochete was the return of Grimi, which has trained without any limitations.

Farnerud is the other player given how weak, with a grid of trauma costal, while Pereirinha made only individualized training, a management measure of effort.
