Carlos Vicens, the Sporting Braga manager, has shed light on why Rodrigo Zalazar was only used in the final 15 minutes of the 2-2 draw against Benfica, citing fever and tonsillitis as the reasons for his cautious approach. Vicens emphasized that the decision was purely precautionary, as the midfielder was not at full health. This explanation comes amid ongoing speculation linking Zalazar with a move to Sporting Lisbon. The 25-year-old has been a key figure for Braga this season, and his limited appearance on the pitch raised eyebrows, but Vicens insisted the club prioritized his well-being over match demands.
