Inácio and Hjulmand's injury issues after Porto v Sporting | OneFootball

Not everything was good in Porto - Sporting, which secured the Lions’ place in the Portuguese Cup final. The green-and-white injury list grew again, this time with the additions of Gonçalo Inácio and Morten Hjulmand, both doubts for the clash with AFS.

The 24-year-old Portuguese centre-back suffered a sprain in his left foot after a challenge with William Gomes. He still tried to return to the match after receiving treatment, but ended up being replaced by Zeno Debast in the 11th minute.

Hjulmand, 26, also went off with physical complaints, sitting down on the pitch right at the start of the second half. Sporting’s captain was unable to continue and made way for Daniel Bragança, who also did not finish the match.

With this draw – the eighth in 50 matches this season – Rui Borges’ side booked their place in the Portuguese Cup final. Now, Sporting await the outcome of the tie between Torreense and Fafe, who only play on Thursday, 23 April.

The green-and-white club return to action next Sunday, 26 April, against AVS SAD. The match, counting for the 31st round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side led by João Henriques, will be played in Vila das Aves at 8:30 pm.
