Ruben Amorim confirmed on Wednesday that Coates is ready for the game against Atalanta this Thursday, but should be retained for the championship (Arroca game on Sunday in Alvalade).
The central defender left with complaints (10 minutes) in the game against Farense (3-2 triumph for Leonina), but the injury turned out to be less serious than initially thought. Amorim even said after the game that the player would rest in the match against Atalanta, but on Tuesday the central defender showed himself without restrictions. The defense suffered due to the captain’s absence and ended up conceding both Faro goals from free kicks.
Saint-Juste is also training without restrictions after six months of recovery from a muscle injury. Given the Dutch player’s injury history, the midfielder’s management decided not to risk using him. At the moment he is ready to play, but will not be included in the match against Atalanta this Thursday in the second round of Group D of the Europa League.
