Morita, João Simões or Kochorashvili: Rui Borges picks midfield | OneFootball

Rui Borges does not know who will partner with Morten Hjulmand in Sporting's midfield for the match against Braga. The coach will clarify all doubts in the final training session before the game, but he has already made one decision: João Simões will return to the bench.

In the last National Championship match against Estoril, Morita started but was substituted at the 45-minute mark, giving way to the Georgian player. The Japanese international is still not in top physical condition, which may influence Rui Borges's decision.

The match is extremely important and will feature many midfield duels. Sporting's coach will have to choose between the experience and game understanding of Hidemasa Morita, knowing that the midfielder will likely not last 90 minutes, or the greater physical availability of Kochorashvili.

Sporting will only return to the field next Sunday, October 5th, against Braga. The match, part of the eighth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Carlos Vicens, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade at 7:15 PM.
