Jesus puts squad through their paces in build up to Portuguese Cup

The inclusion of B team goalkeeper Pedro Silva in the senior team's training session was the main highlight of Wednesday's training session in Alcochete.

With Rui Patrício, William Carvalho and Gelson Martins (Portugal), Coates (Uruguay), Markovic (Serbia) and Bas Dost (Netherlands) all away on international duty and Adrien and Spalvis out through injury, Jorge Jesus had a much reduced squad to work with. Taking advantage of the good weather, the Sporting coach guided the players through a session with the ball, before finishing with a lecture on tactics.
