There is some expectation at Sporting about whether Jeremiah St. Juste will try to return to José Alvalade Stadium this Monday, September 22, to watch the sixth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against Moreirense. After the 'caricature' incident in the game against Kairat, it is possible that the Dutchman will repeat the behavior.
According to the newspaper Record, the lion structure has not taken any special measures since the Champions League game until now, regarding the change of rights of the center back who, now, is part of the B team of the green and whites. Against Kairat, the player watched the match in the VIP box, when in fact, being part of the secondary formation, he should not have done so, thus violating the Club's rules, which were, once again, displeased with the athlete's behavior.
The player ended up watching the match along with the injured Geny Catamo, Nuno Santos, Ousmane Diomande, Daniel Bragança and Rui Silva. To get there, the Dutchman depended on the goodwill of a colleague, who gave him something that all players of the main team have the right to: a VIP invitation.
This was the second caricature episode involving the footballer on the same day, after he tried to park his car in the players' parking lot as he usually did, but was prevented. The green and whites' regulation states that no player from the B team can park in the said stadium parking lot.
Jeremiah St. Juste was entitled to two stand tickets, which were sent to him on Thursday morning, but the defender refused, to later accept the said VIP invitations to the A team's box. The behavior throughout the match also contributed to increasing the discomfort.
The 28-year-old center back, remember, was close to leaving in the last summer transfer market, but ended up staying at Sporting, although he is not in Rui Borges' plans. In 2025/26, he has not played any minute yet, despite having been on the substitutes' bench in the Super Cup duel.
