Sporting have three players at risk of suspension ahead of the Clássico | OneFootball

After avoiding a yellow card in the match against Nacional, which counted for the 20th round of the championship, Maxi Araújo, Pedro Gonçalves, and Luis Suárez remain at risk of suspension. The three players are just one yellow card away from having to serve a suspension.

Thus, they remain under disciplinary watch for the classic match against Porto. After the match at Estádio do Dragão, the national champion will host Famalicão on the 15th at 8:30 PM. However, this should not influence Rui Borges' initial choices for the match in any way.

In fact, the three players 'on the brink' are expected to be part of Sporting's starting eleven in the away match on Monday, February 9th. In any case, depending on how the match is progressing, the coach of the lions may take measures during the 90 minutes to prevent any major issues for the next round.

Sporting returns to the field this Monday, February 9th, against Porto. The match, counting for the 21st round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Francesco Farioli, will be played at 8:45 PM at Estádio do Dragão.

At the moment, the green and whites occupy the second position in the National Championship standings, with 51 points. Benfica is in third place, with 49 - having played one more game -, while Porto leads the competition with 55 points.
