Zeno Debast caught at Sporting v Club Brugge, one detail stands out | OneFootball

Zeno Debast was present in the box reserved for uncalled players to watch the Sporting - Club Brugge match, valid for the fifth round of the Champions League. Still recovering from injury, there was a detail that stood out regarding the Belgian international.

The 'number 6' of the green and whites was captured by the cameras during the match next to Fotis Ioannidis - who is also injured, with a ligament problem in his right knee - and there was no sign of the crutches, which he had used to attend the Sporting - Marinhense match, in the Portuguese Cup.

Despite this being good news, Debast is expected to face at least another month of stoppage due to a left knee injury. In the worst-case scenario, the player may only return to Rui Borges' options at the beginning of 2026.

Several familiar faces were also present at the José Alvalade Stadium. Besides the aforementioned Debast and Ioannidis, Pedro Gonçalves, Daniel Bragança, and Nuno Santos also made sure to closely follow the team despite not being able to contribute.

At the start of this season, Zeno Debast - valued at 30 million euros - has already played 13 official matches wearing the Sporting jersey. The Belgian international of the lions has recorded, so far, 855 minutes of play, but still without any goals or assists in his personal account.
