Hjulmand and Inácio taken to hospital after Santa Clara v Sporting | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand and Gonçalo Inácio, along with Daniel Bragança, were at the pediatric wing of the Hospital Garcia de Orta this Friday, December 19th, a day after the victory against Santa Clara, to deliver Christmas presents to the children residing in the institution. The initiative left the Sporting players touched.

"It's not easy to see children having problems, but it's good to see their happiness when we arrive and give them presents from our families. It's a mixed feeling, but I highlight their happiness. I'm happy to see the work that the Sporting Foundation has done", said the green and white captain to the Club's media.

For the Dane, having seen "smiles and happiness in young ones aged two or three when arriving with presents" made it all worthwhile. "It's a small gesture from the players and means a lot", he added. The player mentioned that "it's very important to show that the players care about the children".

"It was clear to everyone. We also saw the number of Sporting fans working at the hospital. Seeing the players meant a lot to them too", he stated, in a moment of camaraderie and unity worthy of the Christmas season. The donations were numerous, and it was up to the captains to deliver them to the children.

Sporting will return to the field next Tuesday, December 23rd, against Vitória de Guimarães, in a match for the 15th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Luís Pinto will be played at 8:45 PM, at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques.
