Casa Pia: Key 'reinforcement' on the horizon

Casa Pia desperately needs points, currently sitting at the bottom of the league table. For their upcoming match against Estoril, manager Filipe Coelho might have a significant boost: Jérémy Livolant.
The French forward had been sidelined due to a disciplinary process stemming from his inappropriate conduct when expressing his desire to leave the club. However, the disagreement has been resolved, and the attacker has been training with the squad since last week. Now, it's a matter of regaining match fitness to be considered for selection by the coaching staff.

A winger capable of playing on both flanks, the former Bordeaux player has been a crucial asset since his arrival at Pina Manique in the summer of 2024. In his debut season for the 'geese', he scored five goals and provided four assists. In the 2025/26 season, he matched his goal tally but saw his number of assists skyrocket to eight.

In the medical department, regular goalkeeper André Gomes will be out for several weeks with a right adductor tear. Consequently, the goal will likely remain in the hands of Croatian Ivan Mandic, with Costa Rican Patrick Sequeira waiting in the wings – Sequeira having made his first squad appearance against FC Porto.
