Today marks the return of some Portugal national team players in the pre-season training for the Liga Sagres. Three of them joined Sporting Lisbon's pre-season in Isla Canela, Spain until July 27th .
They're midfielder João Moutinho,
new signing and forward Hélder Postiga,
and goalkeeper Rui Patrício.
Miguel Veloso was authorized to return later.
These 4 players missed Sporting's 1st pre-season friendly, Sporting 1-3 Sunderland. A defeat! They will be ready for the next 4 friendlies. They face a club from the Serie A, 2 clubs from the Premiership, and 1 from the Netherlands Eredivisie.
July 26- Sporting - Blackburn
July 27- Sporting- Benfica
August 2- Sporting- PSV
August 9- Sporting - Sampdoria I'm looking forward to this one. I want to see Cassano in action.
Here's Joao Moutinho as he arrived:
Less than a month away from Portugal's 1st game after Euro 2008, these 3 players will need to get fit quickly.
- We'll see how fit they will be by August 20th, Portugal-Faroe Islands.
