Morita and Maxi Araújo bring major news to Sporting | OneFootball

Hidemasa Morita and Maxi Araújo have recovered from injury and may be an option in the Famalicão - Sporting match of the fifth round

Hidemasa Morita and Maxi Araújo have recovered from injury and may be an option in the clash against Famalicão. Both players received the green light from Sporting's medical department and, it seems, will be part of Rui Borges' call-up list.

According to information advanced by the newspaper A Bola, the duo is still doing specific work. Morita missed the Classic with Porto due to muscle problems and Maxi has been out since the first official match of the season, against Benfica, in the Super Cup.

However, the same source ensures that, despite still having specific training, both Morita and Maxi will be part of Rui Borges' call-up list. On the other hand, Ousmane Diomande will continue to be away from Sporting's coach options.

The central defender from Ivory Coast is in a later stage of recovery and the trip to Famalicão is seen as one of the most demanding of the Liga Portugal Betclic, so Sporting's officials will not force the use of the 'number 26' shirt.

Sporting will return to the field only on the next September 13, against Famalicão. The match, for the fifth round of the National Championship, against the team led by Hugo Oliveira, will be played in Minho, with kick-off scheduled for 8:30 pm.
