Today, Friday, Ruben Amorim reviewed the match with Casa Pia, in the eighth round of La Liga.

Speaking to reporters, the Lions coach confirmed the absence of five players from the match, with a focus on Diomande, who, according to the coach, “will be out of action for a few weeks.” In addition to the Ivorian, Saint-Justie, Matheus Reis, Pedro Gonçalves and Marcus Edwards will not play this Saturday.

“Deepest mistakes? It seemed natural, I can say I really liked the draw, the players felt the result, because they are used to winning. Diomande will be out for a few weeks, and Quaresma is not recovering well yet, but he is part of the team and Inacio's situation is annoying. Now, Diomande is obviously out, and Saint-Just is out too, as is Matheus Reis. We have Fresinda and other players who can play in those positions.”

Regarding the Spanish full-back, Amorim praised the player and said that Fresinda possesses the ideal characteristics to adapt to being a centre-back on the right side.

“He was a full-back and he doesn't have the appearance of a centre-back, I think he suits this position very well. There are games where we obviously have to use three defenders and he is perfect for this position. This is what we are working on more. He is ready to play tomorrow, I remember Ugarte taking six Months to play and after a year he was sold to Paris Saint-Germain, Fresinda will have enough time to play,” said the coach.
