Sporting CP, who lost several star players in the summer, has had a commendable season start. A victory against Atalanta would secure their spot in the knockout stages of the Europa League. Edwards has played a pivotal role in Sporting's success this season, contributing seven goals and as many assists.
The 23-year-old winger, a product of the Spurs academy, moved to Portugal in 2019. After an impressive stint at Vitoria Guimaraes, where he scored 20 goals, Edwards secured a €7.7 million move to Sporting CP, marking him as the first English player at the club since Eric Dier.
Despite the unsettling incident, Marcus Edwards is expected to redirect his focus to Sporting's crucial Europa League fixture and their title battle against Benfica. The talented Englishman has long been a subject of Premier League return speculation, and his resilience after the recent car crash showcases his determination to contribute to Sporting's ongoing success.
