Official: Fresneda Out of Sporting's London Trip

Fresneda only featured in the first half of Sporting's 1-0 victory over Estrela da Amadora, a match decided by Daniel Bragança's 59th-minute goal. The defender remained in the dressing room at halftime due to physical discomfort.

The right-back is absent from the Lions' final training session before their UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg against Arsenal. A BOLA can confirm that the Spanish international will not travel to London.

Sporting's management is thus protecting the player, aiming to prevent any aggravation of his injury and, consequently, a longer spell on the sidelines.
