And now? This formulation has, in the last few hours, shaken the face of Sporting’s coach, Rui Borges, who is preparing, with several important absences, the visit to a dominating Bayern Munich in 2025/2026.
The derby with Benfica, for the championship, brought a series of added difficulties to the Lions, beyond those expected by any opponent visiting the Allianz Arena, in Munich, where no one has even scored this season, whether in the Bundesliga or the Champions League.
Long-term injured Nuno Santos and Zeno Debast were joined in the Sporting clinical report by Francisco Trincão, Geovany Quenda and Pedro Gonçalves. And to these we must add Georgios Vagiannidis, Gonçalo Inácio and Geny Catamo, who are in doubt. All people with a preponderance in the team.

With so many absentees, the eleven that Sporting will present in Munich should not be too difficult to predict, especially because Rui Borges’ options are not abundant at this point.
PROBABLE SPORTING ELEVEN: Rui Silva, Iván Fresneda, Eduardo Quaresma, Ousmane Diomande, Maxi Araújo, Morten Hjulmand, João Simões, Hidemasa Morita, Alisson Santos, Geny Catamo and Luis Suárez.
PROBABLE ELEVEN FOR BAYERN MUNICH: Meuel Neuel, Laerad Conservation, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, Stancict Stanum, Joshua Kimmich, Roshual Pavllovic, Michal Olise, Genartttar in Hanim.
Bayern Munich-Sporting, from the sixth round of the league phase of the Champions League, will play this Tuesday (5:45 pm), in Germany, and can be followed, up to the minute, by More football.
