Sporting coach Tiago Fernandes is reworking his team for the club's Champions League fixture in London, according to A Bola. The Portuguese outlet reported on Tuesday that Fernandes is making sweeping changes to the side, and it has also published a probable starting eleven for the London match.
The exact nature of the changes was not detailed in the reporting available. A Bola framed the move as a revolution in the team's approach ahead of the European tie.
Coverage of the match extends beyond the lineup. Terra has published a preview covering where to watch the game, the expected lineups and the refereeing appointments. Record, meanwhile, reported that Alisson Santana is preparing to face Maxi Araújo in the Champions League and said he has studied his opponent's weak points.
The previews also reference Shakhtar Donetsk, indicating the Ukrainian side is part of the fixture picture around Sporting's London trip, though the available reporting does not specify the exact match arrangements.
What to watch next: whether Fernandes' probable eleven, as reported by A Bola, holds when the team is confirmed, and how the reshuffled Sporting side performs in London.
