Rui Borges sets the record straight on St. Juste’s situation at Sporting | OneFootball

Rui Borges held, this Thursday, January 15, the preview of the match against Casa Pia. One of the first questions asked by journalists was about the possible reintegration of Jeremiah St. Juste into the team - he who played 45 minutes in a B team training match. The coach of the lions was straightforward and did not want to fuel the topic.

"He is not part of Sporting's main team", the green and white leader responded coldly to those present at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, when asked if the return of the Dutch center-back would be a possibility on the table.

It should be noted that Jeremiah St. Juste has not been in Rui Borges' plans for the main team since the start of the season and is still awaiting a decision regarding his future. The player has a contract valid until the end of the current season with the Alvalade Club and recent rumors indicate interest from Valencia and Celta de Vigo in signing him.

Currently, the green and whites occupy the second position in the National Championship standings, with 42 points. Benfica is in third place, with 39, while the Porto team leads the competition, with 49 points.

Sporting will return to the field on Friday, January 16, against Casa Pia. The match, part of the 18th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Álvaro Pacheco, will be played at 8:15 PM, in Alvalade.
