Rui Borges hopes for a boost ahead of Sporting v Alverca | OneFootball

Although he was not included in Rui Borges’ options for the Tondela - Sporting match, Hidemasa Morita should be fit to play in the League Cup against Alverca. It was a virus that kept the player out of last Sunday’s match, October 26, from which the Lions emerged victorious.

The newspaper Record reports, in its latest edition, that the situation is not serious, but it was enough for the ‘number 5’ to miss this game. Even so, the Lions believe that the player will be fit for the Allianz Cup, already this Tuesday.

“Morita had a problem yesterday, I wouldn’t call it a health issue, but he wasn’t feeling well, and he was unavailable for the match. I believe he’ll be available for Tuesday (against Alverca) and for the upcoming games,” admitted Rui Borges in the quick interview area at the end of the match, without adding much more.

Sporting will be back on the field this Tuesday, October 28, against Alverca. The match, counting for the League Cup quarter-finals, against the team led by Custódio, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade at 8:15 pm.
