Morita and Maxi Araújo turn the tables on the Sporting manager | OneFootball

Morita and Maxi Araújo, from Sporting, have positive news that changes the plans of Rui Borges at the Alvalade Club

Hidemasa Morita and Maxi Araújo are getting closer to recovering from the injuries that prevented them from contributing to Sporting in the last matches. The two, along with Ousmane Diomande, will be reassessed at the Alcochete Academy, already next Tuesday, September 9.

According to the newspaper A Bola, of the three, only Ousmane Diomande is not yet likely to be fit to face Famalicão in Sporting's next match, scheduled for Saturday, September 13. The Ivorian central defender is close to returning, but he should not yet be deemed fit to play.

Maxi Araújo and Hidemasa Morita are different matters. Regarding the Uruguayan winger, he himself revealed that he should already be fit to play about 30 minutes against Famalicão, a value that will increase with each match that the left-back plays for Sporting, in the position that has been occupied by Ricardo Mangas during his absence - who should continue there until the South American is 100% recovered.

Hidemasa Morita did not have a serious problem, so he should also be very close to recovering from the muscular difficulties he suffered. In the case of the Japanese player, who did not travel to meet with his National Team, it is more difficult to be sure, but it is possible that Kochorashvili maintains the starting position, due to the higher competitive rhythm he brings at this moment.

The Sporting enters, this Monday, the third of three days off granted to the green and white squad, by Rui Borges. The lions return to work tomorrow, and even with many internationals still in the stages of their selections, the coach will already know which of the injured he will be able to count on, with a view to the next match, with Famalicão.
