The goal will be a 'headache' for Rúben Amorim in the next round of the I League. With the champion title already in their pocket, the lions travel to Estoril to fulfill the penultimate round and without the two main goalkeepers of the squad.
After Adán's injury, here is that the final stretch of the I League brought a new problem, this time with the injury (and surgery) of Franco Israel, who is away from the last two games in the championship (Estoril and Chaves) in addition to the final of the Portuguese Cup with FC Porto. In this sense, and according to the newspaper O Jogo, coach Rúben Amorim should hand over the goal to young Diogo Pinto, who will make his debut in the main team of the greens and whites. Francisco Silva could also be an option, but the lions' coach has already hinted that the natural goalkeeper from Felgueiras starts ahead of his teammate. "It seems to me that [Diogo] Pinto, at this moment, has another experience... This also goes a lot through Jorge Vital [goalkeeper coach]. Then, the decision is mine, but it seems to me that Pinto has some advantage," said the national champion coach, when asked about who would be Israel's substitute, given Adán's injury. A young goalkeeper, with stints in the youth teams and with several years at Sporting, Diogo Pinto was one step away from going to Manchester City before signing what was his first professional contract in 2020. He stayed in Alvalade, is linked to the lions until 2026 and is preparing to be another national champion.
