While there have been rumours that the player is ready for selection, Cardoso stated that Saleng is still out injured, describing it as a “progressing situation”.
He also added that Arthur Sales is among the injured players after picking up a knock during the CAF Champions League match against MC Alger.
“Thank you very much for the question because it gives me the opportunity also to comment a little bit on the situation of the injured players because I see that there are a lot of comments,” said Cardoso.
“I’m obviously informed by the people like [our media officer], and also by my assistants regarding what people speak about players and this and that. There’s a lot of misinformation regarding the players that are injured or not injured.
“It’s very important that on the match day that people in general take a look at the report that is press-released by our media officer, so that they understand the players that can be lined up or not because then there’s a lot of arguments and discussions on players that are injured and cannot even play.
“There’s no need for those kinds of bad thoughts, let’s say. So, Saleng is still injured. It’s a situation that is obviously progressing. Let’s see when he can help the team.
“Also, Arthur [Sales] is still out, what obviously makes you understand clearly that those are positions where we need energy, we need characteristics that the two of them can bring in the team.”
