Porto complaint prompts case against Sporting player, says council | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Council has already opened a disciplinary process against Morten Hjulmand, captain of Sporting, following the complaint made by Porto. It should be noted that, in the quarter-final match of the Portuguese Cup between the lions and Santa Clara, the Dane suffered a foul by Galletto, called by referee André Narciso, and in the course of his movement, he hit the opponent in the face with a foot, in a manner that the dragons consider to be aggression.

According to the newspaper Record, in Porto's view, Hjulmand's movement was unnatural and contrary to any context of ball dispute, also highlighting to the Disciplinary Council that the perception of a disciplinary offense is not only theirs, but that it was shared by the AFS SAD officials present at the match and discussed in the media.

It should be noted that the number 42 recently became a father, but did not miss training with the team led by Rui Borges, remaining in the plans for the trip to Pedreira. The midfielder previously organized family details to ensure his presence at the training camp and travel with the squad to the north of the country.

The green and white emblem takes the field this Saturday, March 7, against Braga. The match, part of the 25th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Carlos Vicens, will be played at the Estádio Municipal de Braga at 6:00 PM.

This season, wearing Sporting's jersey, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – participated in 34 matches: 21 in Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In the 3,092 minutes he was on the field, the lions' captain scored two goals and made five assists.
