They add “On Saturday, William had a commitment. On Tuesday, he can not play for Sporting in the first leg of the Champions League play-off against Steaua Bucharest because he is suspended”
After the game with Vitória on Friday night, Carvalho was asked what his destination was and why he had been absent from Friday’s match. William Carvalho looked, smiled, opened his arms and did not give away any information the report claims.
