Sporting Lisbon vs Arsenal Team news :
Amorim’s playoff round second-leg thrashing of Midtjylland by Sporting was not ideal because midfielder Manuel Ugarte received his third European caution of the season and will be suspended for Thursday’s match.
Mateo Tanlongo, a 19-year-old Argentine starlet, and Hidemasa Morita should start alongside Daniel Braganca, who is still recovering from a ruptured cruciate ligament. Amorim has no other injury or suspension concerns to consider.
Amorim should not be afraid to make some changes to the defense and start Matheus Reis and Jeremiah St. Juste, but Hector Bellerin will probably start on the bench against his old team. After Leandro Trossard was substituted in the first half of Arsenal’s victory over Bournemouth due to a groin injury, Arteta runs the risk of being without his three known central attacking options.
The Belgian, along with Gabriel Jesus and Mohamed Elneny, is unlikely to miss this leg, and Eddie Nketiah’s ankle issue is unlikely to resolve in time for the first leg either. Initial assessments have ruled out a serious injury.
As a result, Gabriel Martinelli should be in charge of scoring goals at number nine, allowing Emile Smith Rowe, who started against Bournemouth but was replaced by Nelson, to start on the left side for the first time this season.
