Sporting has included five new players in its 25-man squad traveling to Turin for Tuesday’s Champions League match against Juventus, signaling a potential shift in team composition for the crucial European encounter.
Coach Rui Borges named Diego Callai, Bruno Ramos, Salvador Blopa, Rayan Lucas, and Rodrigo Ribeiro among the additions. Their inclusion comes as the Portuguese club prepares for the fourth-round league phase fixture.
Veteran forward Luis Suárez also joined the delegation despite being observed training with protection on his right knee earlier on Monday. His presence adds experience to the squad.
The team departed Lisbon on Monday afternoon for Italy. Club president Frederico Varandas is leading the 25-player contingent.
