Zeno Debast

Debast (undisclosed) won't be an option for Wednesday's UCL clash against LASK Linz, according to manager Rui Borges. "Debast should return before Rodrigo [Zalazar]."

Analysis: Borges acknowledged that both Debast and Zalazar should return to group training very soon, so there might be an outside chance for him to play in the Nov. 3 match against Shakhtar Donetsk in London. The center-back has yet to make his 2026/27 season debut, but all signs point toward him doing so in the near future.

Expected to miss LASK Linz clash

Debast (undisclosed) is expected to miss Wednesday's Champions League clash against LASK Linz after being absent from Sunday's team training session, according to A bola.

Analysis: Debast was not involved in Sporting's preparations for Wednesday's European fixture, with the defender remaining off the pitch throughout Sunday's session. His absence raises concerns about his fitness, although the nature of his issue and a potential return timeline have yet to be confirmed. The Belgian center-back appears unlikely to feature against LASK Linz, with his availability for subsequent matches dependent on further updates from the club.
