St. Juste hits back: Sporting defender denies media claims | OneFootball

Jeremiah St. Juste denied being injured. The Dutch center-back has not had an easy start to the 2025/26 season, after being an important part of the green-and-white back-to-back title win last season and having been close to leaving over the summer.

The Sporting player posted a photo on his personal Instagram page, where he appears in boots in the green-and-white locker room. Jeremiah St. Juste added a caption that read: “I’m not injured. Just focused on working hard and staying fit.”

It’s worth recalling that the national press recently reported that Jeremiah St. Juste had been injured again. The Dutch center-back had already hinted through his social media that this report was not accurate, but only now has he made it clear that this is indeed the case.

Jeremiah St. Juste continues to experience a very complicated start to the season. After being part of the squad that won the double in 2024/25, he was close to the exit door at Sporting this summer, but ended up turning down that possibility and, as a result, was demoted to the green-and-white B team.

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