Sporting outcast caught out in fresh controversy | OneFootball

Jeremiah St. Juste was 'contradicted' by the national press after taking to social media to cast doubt on whether he is currently injured or not. Apparently, the player has indeed been under the care of Sporting’s Performance Unit for the past ten days.

According to the newspaper O Jogo, the Dutch center-back was injured on October 1st, which made him unavailable for the B team even if João Gião had wanted to use him, since he had already missed training sessions with the secondary team before last Sunday’s match against Leixões.

"Don’t believe everything you read in the media", wrote Jeremiah St. Juste, in a post shared through the stories on his personal Instagram account, which he later ended up deleting from his social networks.

The defender has not played in any matches this season yet – despite being on the bench for the Super Cup, which ended in a 1-0 defeat for Sporting against Benfica, and being sent off while on the substitutes’ bench – and is serving his final months at Sporting.

In 2024/2025, St. Juste – valued at 6 million euros – played 28 games wearing the Sporting shirt: 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.
