  • Story Text: Sporting Lisbon trained on Tuesday (November 4) at their training ground in Alcochete near Lisbon ahead of their clash against Schalke on Matchday Four of Champions League.
    Sporting meet Schalke on Wednesday (November 5) after suffering a 4-3 defeat in the reverse fixture last month, a result that left Sporting bottom of Group G with just one point from three matches. Chelsea head the group with seven points, two ahead of Schalke with Maribor on two points in third.
    Sporting will be looking to former Manchester United star Nani to help give them a win which would give them some hope of progressing to the knock-out phase. A defeat, and either a win or draw for Chelsea against Maribor also playing on Wednesday, would put Sporting out of contention.
