Confirmed: Rui Borges suffers another injury after Nacional-Sporting | OneFootball

After Sporting’s triumph over Nacional (4-1) in Madeira, the Sporting squad returned this Sunday, August 24, to the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy for the usual post-match training session. Hidemasa Morita was absent and is now under the care of the club’s medical department.

The Japanese midfielder, as a reminder, left the match against the Madeiran team with physical complaints and was replaced by Giorgi Kochorashvili in the 32nd minute. Ousmane Diomande, Maxi Araújo, Daniel Bragança, and Nuno Santos were also absent from the training session.

The players who were part of Rui Borges’ starting eleven during the visit to the islanders limited themselves to recovery work. Rui Borges gave the squad a day off next Monday and the team will return to training on Tuesday morning, once again behind closed doors in Alcochete.

Hidemasa Morita is coming off a season marked by several physical problems. When he returned to the bench, the number 5 even had a brief conversation with Rui Borges, the coach who wanted to better understand his player’s physical condition, speaking about the midfielder’s issue after the match.

The green and white team will return to the field next Saturday, August 30, against Porto. The match, valid for the fourth round of the National Championship, against the team led by Francesco Farioli, will be played at 8:30 p.m. in Alvalade.
