Not the greatest month, and you're certainly lacking Carvalho's presence. Them two away goals vs Dynamo are crucial, though!

Injuries


http://i63.tinypic.com/1zggm55.jpg

Slimani, in the picture above in front of the Sporting fans, that took a big image of Jorge Jesus beating Rui Vitória to the last month Derby in Estádio da Luz, as seen in the picture, is out due to injury.
The argelian man received a harsh blow to the knee. It was in Alvalade in the other Lisbon Derby, against Belenenses, that at the 24' Slimani got out of the pitch. Slimani was another nuclear player to be unable on the match against Dynamo, after William's injury earlier this month.
The Lions striker will be out for 3 months, and few believe he can be back before the end of the season.
An harsh twist to Jorge Jesus's plans, that plays frequently with Slimani in the front of the green-and-whites attack.
Slimani has stated that he's very sad with this injury, and promised to work hard to get back as soon as possible.

The serbian, Zivkovic, will be out for 2 to 3 weeks, after an injury in a training session a couple days after the match against União da Madeira.

In his 8 year stay at Manchester he won: 1 Champions League, 5 Premier League, 3 FA Cup, 1 European Supercup, 1 Capital One Cup and 4 Community Shield Cup.
He was consideres the best goalkeeper in the world by IFFHS in 1992 and 1993, and by UEFA in 1992, 1993, 1997 and 1998, among many other awards he received.
It was also during his time at Manchester United that he won the Eurocup with Denmark in 1992.

Zivkovic's Injury


http://i63.tinypic.com/miowmh.jpg

After being out for the last 2 weeks, the serbian Zivkovic, returned to the trainings after the defeat against the ucranians in the Champions League.
But before he could even play another match, he suffered a new injury.
Another unluck twist for the serbian that was normally out of the game in Guimarães, against Vitória SC, and will be probably out for good part of the next month.
Zivkovic came to Sporting in the last summer, after the portuguese-side payed €3M to his former team, Partizan.

"The Eagles lost today to Rio Ave by 2-1. Finishing the month of March with another defeat, and making the worse possible record with 4 defeats into 4 matches in March. The first game was a 2-0 defeat at home against Porto, then a 1-0 defeat in Porto, against Boavista, followed by a 2-1 defeat in Madeira, against Nacional".

"So now, we are 3 points away from the title, and we'll play Porto in the 28th Round of the Primeira Liga".

"Sporting still has 7 matches to play in Primeira Liga, in any of which, 3 points will be suficient to confirm the title".

"Well, Catarina, I just receive a notice, that the team bus has arrived here to the stadium let's see the team entering the stadium, now".

"Here they are. Our hero's have just enter the stadium, and are now getting ready to the match, which is just a couple hous away. Back to you, Catarina". - finished the reporter.

"Thank you very much, Filipa." - said the anchor, Catarina, getting back to the image.

"As, by now, you all know, Teo and Balanta will be out of this game, due to international commitments. Also Slimani and Zivkovic won't be able to play due to injury."

"And the starting eleven have just arrived."

"Sporting will play with: Rui Patrício beetween the posts; João Pereira, Ron Vlaar, Ewerton and Jefferson in the defense; William Carvalho, João Mário and Adrien Silva in the midfield; and with Gelson Martins, Carlos Mané and Montero in the front of the Lions attack".

"There's still some time for the players to get in the pitch, but the Sporting fans are entering the stadium now, in the hope that their support may help the team reaching the win today".

"With that, we leave you by now, with all the wishes of success for tonight's game".
