Sporting have a major absence for the match against Arsenal. Rui Borges will not be able to count on Iván Fresneda for the trip to London, in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

having been replaced by Georgios Vagiannidis.

Given the situation, the coaching staff decided to rest him and avoid any worsening of the issue, leaving the player out of the squad for the European clash in England. Zeno Debast also missed the final training session and remains a doubt.

As a result, both the Greek wing-back and Eduardo Quaresma could play on the right side of the defence. On the other hand, João Simões, who had been physically limited in recent days, trained with his teammates, so he should be available for the match.

Iván Fresneda - valued at €12 million - has already made 39 appearances in a Sporting shirt this season: 23 in Liga Portugal, 10 in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Super Cup. .
