Rui Borges leaves Germany with player suspended for Sporting–PSG clash | OneFootball

There’s nothing to be done: Morten Hjulmand will be suspended for Sporting vs PSG, after receiving his third yellow card in the current edition of the Champions League, in the match against Bayern Munich, which the Lions ended up losing 3-1.

With three players at risk, the Sporting captain ended up being the only one to be sanctioned again. Maxi Araújo, who started the match, managed to ‘escape’, while the third player – Pedro Gonçalves – was left out of the game and away from that possibility.

Therefore, Morten Hjulmand will serve a suspension for accumulation of yellow cards in the next Champions League match, which will see Sporting host PSG in the seventh round of the competition. The match is scheduled for January 20, at 8:00 PM, at Alvalade.

With this defeat in Germany – the fourth in 23 matches this season – Rui Borges’ men remain on 10 points in the competition and could drop in the table by the end of this round. Now, the Lions turn their focus to the National Championship, where they have a clash scheduled against AVS next Saturday, December 13.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – has played in 21 matches: 13 in Liga Portugal Betclic, six in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the Super Cup. In the 1,798 minutes he’s been on the pitch, the Lions’ captain has scored two goals and provided two assists.
