Ibrahima Ba
21-Year-Old
Sporting CP
Returns to bench after injury
Ba (undisclosed) recovered from his injury and returned to Sporting's matchday squad for Friday's 3-1 victory over Braga, remaining on the bench as an unused substitute.
ANALYSIS
Ba had been sidelined by a knock that forced him to miss Sporting's Champions League opener against Galatasaray and delayed his integration following his summer move from Famalicao. His inclusion in Friday's squad indicates he has recovered sufficiently to resume competitive duties, although he was not called upon against Braga. The defender made 24 appearances for Famalicao last season and will now look to establish himself in Sporting's defensive rotation. Ba should be available for the upcoming fixtures, though he may initially remain in a reserve role as he works toward regaining match fitness.
