Ioannidis Recovered and Returns to Sporting

Fotis Ioannidis is ready to return to training and Sporting Lisbon matches after an injury to the medial collateral ligament in his right knee. The international striker missed his team's last three games. He will not be available for tomorrow's match against Bilbao, but is expected to return to the home game against Nacional on Sunday for the championship. The 25-year-old Ioannidis has scored 6 goals and provided 1 assist in 21 appearances for Sporting this year. His return is a significant boost for the team, ahead of its upcoming competitive commitments. Sporting is in good form and Ioannidis' return is expected to further improve its performance.
