Bruno Fernandes spoke about the most recent case involving Jeremiah St. Juste, which also involved Viktor Gyokeres. The Dutch center-back lost access to the players' box at the Alvalade Stadium and watched the match between Sporting and Kairat thanks to an invitation from a teammate.

“Normally, families can be with the player, but there is always an agent or friend who can use a VIP invitation to be in the box reserved for players. In this case, there was a player—and there are several versions circulating about who it might have been—who gave the invitation he wasn’t going to use to St. Juste and, according to information I have from St. Juste himself, at St. Juste’s own request,” he began by saying to Canal Now.

Asked whether the player who offered the invitation would face any repercussions, Bruno Fernandes stated that the athlete did not break any rules: “The teammate has every right to offer the ticket to whoever he wants, even to Viktor Gyokeres if he comes here.”

Although the club’s rules were followed, the journalist revealed that the action and presence of St. Juste made some figures within Sporting uncomfortable: “Sporting officials were together in that area, people from the communications office, player support, this was seen as an attempt by St. Juste to play the victim.”

“Now, what I know is that there was a feeling of discomfort and unease towards St. Juste, but also towards the player who gave the VIP ticket to St. Juste. Sporting also knows who the player was that offered the ticket and we’ll see what restrictions or new orders there will be for Sporting’s next match,” Bruno Fernandes concluded.
