Diomande and Morita get bad news: Sporting duo out of luck | OneFootball

Rui Borges confirmed, in the preview of the match against Famalicão, that Ousmane Diomande and Hidemasa Morita did not recover in time to be included in the squad for the trip to Minho. Meanwhile, Maxi Araújo is still doubtful for Sporting's squad.

"Diomande and Morita are out of the game. Maxi is in doubt. He trained today, it's a decision we will make tomorrow," assured the green and white coach, who will have to continue relying on alternatives for the position, as these are three regular starters.

Maxi and Diomande have been out since the first round of Liga Portugal Betclic, having been substituted during the match against Casa Pia. Since then, the winger and the center-back have missed games against Arouca, Nacional, and Porto. Meanwhile, Morita only missed the Clássico.

During the international break, the Uruguayan admitted that he would be available to play, but with a minute restriction. However, as Rui Borges confirmed, it is possible that the management will decide that the 'number 20' remains under the care of the medical department.
