Finally… Zeno Debast. Good news for the Belgian national team at the World Cup and also for Sporting, as the center-back shows signs of recovery from a muscular injury in his right thigh and is preparing to train without limitations.
The indications are so positive, after fears that the defender might miss this World Cup, that in addition to Sporting's player being expected at training, he will also be present at Belgium's press conference this Sunday.
Debast, it's worth remembering, had been a major concern for the Belgians, with Sporting also monitoring the situation closely. However, having passed the World Cup group stage without playing, Zeno Debast is now eyeing a return to action as early as Wednesday (9 PM GMT) against Senegal in the World Cup Round of 16.
