Sporting centre-back out for 3 weeks, Rui Borges unfazed | OneFootball

Jeremiah St. Juste is the latest name on Sporting's medical report. The player, who was demoted to the B team, suffered a muscle injury during a training session led by João Gião and is expected to be out for three weeks. The central defender's time at Alvalade has been marked by physical problems.

The player was close to leaving in this transfer market, but no deal ended up happening. After interest from Osasuna and Mainz, the defender stayed in Alvalade, but is not in Rui Borges' plans, who would not use the athlete.

The footballer's contract ends in 2026 and from January he is free to sign with any institution. The player is 28 years old and is looking to take a new step in his career, as he is not even expected to line up for the B team of the lions (Learn more HERE).
