Monday was a busy day for the returning squad

After completing the customary physical and medical examinations during Monday morning, the Sporting Clube de Portugal squad took to the pitch in the afternoon for their first preseason training session.

Coach Rúben Amorim put the players through their paces on their return from the summer break, with ball work involved as well as a series of cardio drills.

The 23-man group will be back at the Academia Sporting on Tuesday for another session, held behind closed doors.
