Rui Borges set for one change to XI for Arouca v Sporting: find out who

Despite the weather conditions, marked by the passage of depression Ingrid through Portugal, influencing the context of the match, Rui Borges is expected to make only one change in Sporting for this afternoon's match against Arouca, scheduled for 18:00, compared to the team that overcame PSG in the Champions League.

According to the newspaper Record, captain Morten Hjulmand will be the only new addition to the green and white's lineup, as he returns to the squad after serving a suspension and goes straight into the midfield, taking Hidemasa Morita's place and forming a duo with João Simões in the center of the field.
