The Cape Verde national team continued its rigorous training sessions in Lisbon as they prepared for Thursday’s crucial match. Under the watchful eye of head coach Bubista, the squad fine-tuned their tactics and fitness levels, ready for the upcoming challenge.

Goalkeeper Bruno Varela and defender João Paulo Fernandes were not invited to the team due to injuries. In response, Bubista called up midfielder David Moreira from Sporting de Portugal to bolster the squad. Meanwhile, defender Steven Moreira remained sidelined as he just recovered from a muscular injury, ruling him out of the game against Mauritius.

Midfielder David Tavares was also notably absent from the early training sessions, but the rest of the squad remained focused, determined to make the most of their preparation in Lisbon. With each passing day, the team grew in confidence and cohesion, sharpening their strategies ahead of their upcoming international encounter.

Following their final training sessions in Lisbon, the Blue Sharks are set to embark on their journey to Cape Verde, where they will make their final adjustments before taking to the pitch on Thursday. Fans eagerly await their homecoming, hopeful that the team will deliver a strong performance.

With the blend of experience and new talent in the squad, Cape Verde remains optimistic about their chances. The stage is set, and all eyes are now on Thursday’s game as the national team aims to secure a vital victory.
