Alarm bells for Hjulmand: Sporting captain pushed to the limit | OneFootball

Sporting will be forced to manage Morten Hjulmand to the fullest upon his return to Alvalade after the FIFA date. The captain of the green and whites will present himself to the training sessions led by Rui Borges more tired and after some criticism, due to his performance in the Scotland - Denmark match, which ended in a 4-2 defeat.

Thus, the Alvalade Club is aware that it will have the task of recovering the midfielder. At this point, Hjulmand has already accumulated more than 2,000 minutes on the field - between Sporting and the national team -, and the accumulated fatigue has been noticeable, so much so that he was even rested in one of Denmark's training sessions for this very reason.

The 'number 42' of the lions is expected to be fit to participate in Rui Borges' training sessions this Thursday, November 20th, however, according to the newspaper Record, he will end up not being included in the coach's options for the match against Marinhense, which is scheduled for next Saturday (22nd).

The management of Hjulmand has a specific goal: by resting for the Portuguese Cup, the lions' coach will be able to count on the Danish international at full strength for the reception against Club Brugge, on the following Wednesday, November 26th.

Apart from the hectic schedule at Sporting, the captain learned that he will have to play two more matches for the national team by the end of the season. Due to the defeat against Scotland, Denmark will go to the playoffs to try to fight for a place in the 2026 World Cup.
