Among Hidemasa Morita, João Simões, and Giorgi Kochorashvili, Rui Borges is going to launch the Japanese player in Sporting - Braga

Hidemasa Morita will be a starter for Sporting against Braga. The Japanese midfielder will pair with Morten Hjulmand in the midfield of the lions, after having convinced Rui Borges in the last training session before the reception to the team from the city of the archbishops.

The coach of the green and whites was undecided between Morita, Giorgi Kochorashvili, and João Simões, with the Portuguese player practically ruled out of the equation. However, the choice fell on the 'number 5' due to his high intensity in training, reveals Record newspaper.

Morita has had some problems due to injuries, but will now have a good opportunity to recover. Contrary to what is usual, the midfielder was not called up to represent the Japan national team and will be resting and doing activation training for the next two weeks.

This season, with Sporting's jersey, Hidemasa Morita - valued at 11 million euros - has played eight matches. At the start of this season, the Japanese international midfielder played a total of 381 minutes, in which he assisted his teammates on one occasion.

The Sporting game will be played at José Alvalade Stadium, at 7:15 pm.
