Santos (muscular) remains unavailable and will miss Tuesday's Champions League quarterfinal against Arsenal, according to A Bola.
ANALYSIS
Santos has been out since picking up the muscular injury in the win over Alverca and has not been able to shake it off in time for the biggest fixture of the club's season. His absence is a blow for coach Rui Borges, since he can't count on captain Morten Hjulmand either due to suspension for the Arsenal clash. Maxi Araujo is expected to continue on the left side of the defense in his place as Sporting navigate what is a particularly difficult week with multiple key pieces unavailable.

Suffers muscular injury
F/MSporting CP
March 23, 2026
Santos (muscular) was forced off in the 27th minute of Sunday's 4-1 win over Alverca due to an injury, according to coach Rui Borges, per O Jogo. "Nuno's injury is probably muscular; that's the risk of such a long absence. It's a shame because he fought hard to come back. He was thrilled to be back in the starting eleven, and so were we. It's part of the game; we have to stay hopeful and focus on his recovery. He's mentally very strong, stronger than anyone."
