Sporting already have a backup plan for Jeremiah St Juste | OneFootball

Bruno Ramos and João Muniz could replace Jeremiah St Juste in Sporting's main squad. The Dutchman was demoted to the B team of the Lions after not leaving the Alvalade Club in the summer market, as he is not part of Rui Borges's plans.

According to information from the newspaper A Bola, the green and white coach believes that there is no need to promote any center-back, as only a major setback - simultaneous injuries and/or suspensions - would require the use of the fifth center-back in the hierarchy.

However, if it becomes necessary to use a defender other than Ousmane Diomande, Gonçalo Inácio, Zeno Debast, and Eduardo Quaresma, Bruno Ramos and João Muniz are currently the two names being observed by Rui Borges for this purpose.

João Muniz is considered to be in pole position if it becomes necessary to promote one of the young players. The left-footer was loaned to Rio Ave last season but returned in January and was very important in the B team's promotion to Liga 2. The fact that Gonçalo Inácio is the only left-footed center-back favors the choice.

Bruno Ramos, on the other hand, is seen as the player most similar to Jeremiah St Juste. The young Brazilian is quite fast, similar to the Dutchman, also showing great positional sense and good game-building ability, currently being a regular starter in Sporting's B team.
