Sporting lose key player for rest of international break | OneFootball

Zeno Debast cannot be an option for Sporting in the matches against Juventus and Santa Clara. The injury will keep the Belgian international out until the end of the next FIFA break, after already preventing Rui Borges from using the 'number 6' against Alverca.

After taking to social media to leave a message for the fans, it has now been revealed that, as the initial diagnosis indicated, Debast will only return after the international break, and will not be available for the trips to Turin and the Azores.

After the games against Juventus and Santa Clara, due to international commitments, Sporting will only play again on November 22, against Marinhense, in the Portuguese Cup. As this match is theoretically less demanding, it is possible that Debast will only return in the main competition.

At the start of this season, Zeno Debast—valued at 30 million euros—has already played 13 official matches wearing the Sporting shirt. The Belgian international for the Lions has, so far, recorded 855 minutes of play, but still without any goals or assists to his name.

Sporting will return to the field on Tuesday, November 4, this time against the Italians of Juventus. The match, counting for the fourth round of the Champions League, against the team led by Luciano Spalletti, will be played at the opponent’s ground at 8:00 p.m.
