Big news for Hjulmand! Sporting captain set for even more responsibility | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand is experiencing a special moment off the pitch and will now take on even more responsibility, on top of what he already has at Sporting. Four months after tying the knot with Emilie Sofie Nissen, the captain of the green and whites is preparing to become a father for the first time.

The news was shared by Emilie herself on social media, with a message to her followers: “Marriage has brought us blessings greater than we could have imagined. Halfway to meeting our little girl!” wrote the nutritionist, accompanying the text with several photos of the couple.

The post, made this Friday, October 24, quickly filled with congratulatory messages, including comments from Hjulmand’s teammates—who has been going through a more complicated phase at Sporting—such as Zeno Debast and Hidemasa Morita, as well as from Matheus Reis’s wife.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Morten Hjulmand—valued at 50 million euros—has played in 12 matches. The captain of the green and whites has started every game played by the Lions, scoring one goal in 1,090 minutes on the pitch.

Sporting will be back on the field next Wednesday, October 22, against Marseille. The match, part of the third round of the Champions League, against the team led by Roberto De Zerbi, will be played at the Estádio de Alvalade at 8:00 p.m.
