Rui Silva Injury: Suffers muscular problems

Silva (undisclosed) is a doubt for Thursday's Champions League clash against Kairat due to muscular problems, according to A Bola.

Silva returned from international duty with Portugal with muscular problems and was ruled out of Saturday's clash against Famalicao for that reason. The starting goalkeeper of Sporting is a doubt for the Champions League season opener against Kairat and reports say no risk will be taken by the Portuguese club since the game looks to be an easy opposition. If Silva has to miss the game, Joao Virginia will be the one starting in goal in his place.
