Big blow for Nuno Santos. Starting last night against Famalicao, during the ninth day of the Portuguese League, the left-handed piston was forced to leave his teammates before the end of the first half after a major collision with the Frenchman Zidou Youssouf. Then his exit on a stretcher indicated that he had suffered a serious injury, and the ruling issued on Sunday confirmed the worst since the Sporting Lisbon player suffered a rupture of the patellar tendon in his right knee. Translation: He will not play again this season.
