Nuno Santos targets October return as Américo shares childhood history
Nuno Santos, the 31-year-old Sporting player, is expected to return to the pitch in the second half of October. After suffering a severe right knee injury in October 2024—a total rupture of the patellar tendon—he has been sidelined for 15 months. He is currently undergoing strengthening exercises to ensure full physical recovery.
In other news, Américo shared personal details regarding his difficult childhood on the program ‘Dois às 10’. He recounted how his mother passed away during childbirth and his father abandoned him shortly after winning a lottery prize. He also described the emotional burden placed on him by his grandmother, who for years accused him of being responsible for his mother's death.
