There is only one player’s fitness that Estoril coach Nélson Verssimo needs to worry about out of an almost completely healthy group of players. Due to a knee injury, Lucas Frico is sidelined.
Due to an otherwise accessible group of players, Sporting Lisbon manager Rben Amorim just needs to worry about one fitness issue. Daniel Bragança is unable to play in this contest due to a ruptured Cruciate Ligament.
