Heads up, Sporting! Besides Ioannidis, another player may return yet | OneFootball

Like Fotis Ioannidis, Morten Hjulmand could also return to action before the end of Sporting’s season, although the Danish midfielder is still recovering from the injury he suffered against Porto and is working against the clock.

According to the latest information published by newspaper A Bola, the Lions’ captain is still feeling pain in his right ankle, which is why he is unlikely to be available for the trip to Rio Ave in Vila do Conde.

Even so, within Sporting’s structure there is confidence that Hjulmand can return in time for the Portuguese Cup final against Torreense on May 24. In fact, the Denmark international could return even before then, with the final league match against Gil Vicente at Alvalade also a possibility.

The return of the ‘number 42’ would be an important boost for Rui Borges at a decisive stage of the season, both because of his competitive influence on the pitch and his leadership in the Alvalade club’s dressing room, especially as these could be the player’s last matches for the Lions if his summer departure is confirmed.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at €45 million – has made 43 appearances: 26 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, five in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Super Cup. .
