Rui Borges could lose two more Sporting players for the Champions League | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand and Maxi Araújo join Bayern Munich - Sporting, this Tuesday, December 9, 'on the brink'. In other words, if they receive a yellow card during the visit to the Bavarians' stronghold, either of these two players will miss Rui Borges' team against PSG.

Heading into the sixth round of the Champions League, both the Dane and the Uruguayan have already received two yellow cards, and if they repeat this for the third time, they will be unavailable for the match against the French team, scheduled for January 20, 2026, in the seventh round of the competition. It is most likely that both will be part of Rui Borges' choices for the starting eleven.

In fact, Pedro Gonçalves is also on Sporting's 'on the brink' list, however, it is already known that the 'number 8' did not travel with the rest of the green and white squad to Munich, as he was not deemed fit for the match - just like Francisco Trincão and Geovany Quenda.

Currently, Sporting occupies the eighth position in the regular phase of the Champions League. Rui Borges' team has a total of ten points after five matches played in the prestigious competition: three wins, one draw, and one loss.

The team returns to the field this Tuesday, December 9, against Bayern Munich. The match, part of the sixth round of the Champions League, against the team led by Vincent Kompany, will be played at the Allianz Arena, at 5:45 PM.
