Sporting take drastic step: Champion kicked out of the dressing room | OneFootball

Sporting has removed Jeremiah St. Juste's personal space from the locker room. The green and white central defender has cut ties with the management led by Frederico Varandas, who had already barred the player from entering the parking lot and boxes at the José Alvalade Stadium.

As could be seen in the latest Backstage Sporting, covering the week of the matches against Kairat Almaty and Moreirense, footage was filmed of the group inside the locker room, without the presence of locker number three, which belonged to the Dutchman. The center-back would have been between Matheus Reis and Hidemasa Morita, who wear numbers two and five, respectively.

It is worth noting that Jeremiah St. Juste was present at Sporting's last two games at Alvalade Stadium. Despite having lost access to the players' VIP box, he managed to enter it thanks to an invitation from a teammate. His presence ended up causing discomfort among some of the Club's staff, largely due to his behavior during the matches.

It should be recalled that the Dutchman arrived at Sporting in 2022, coming from Mainz for around 10 million euros. Although he managed to show why the SAD leonina spent that amount, the central defender was never able to establish himself as a starter, mainly due to injuries that have always troubled him. The arrival of Rui Borges, and the switch to a system with two center-backs instead of three, ended up further reducing the player's opportunities, and he now trains with the B team under João Gião.

In 2024/2025, St. Juste – valued at 6 million euros – played 28 games for Sporting: 14 in Liga Portugal Betclic, six in the Champions League, five in the Portuguese Cup, and three in the League Cup. In total, the defender accumulated 1,385 minutes, without scoring or providing any assists.
