Ousmane Diomande and Hidemasa Morita are out of the duel against Famalicão. The absence of the duo was confirmed by Rui Borges in the preview to the match, with the Sporting coach also assuring that Maxi Araújo is doubtful for the fifth round of the championship.
"Diomande and Morita are out of the game. Maxi is in doubt. He trained today, it's a decision we'll make tomorrow", assured the green and white coach, who will have to continue to rely on alternatives for the position, as these are three usual starters.
Maxi and Diomande have been out since the first round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, having been replaced in the visit to Casa Pia. Since then, the winger and the center back have missed games with Arouca, Nacional and Porto. On the other hand, Morita only missed the Classic.
During the international break, the Uruguayan even admitted that he would be available to play, but with a limited number of minutes. However, as Rui Borges confirmed, it is possible that the management decides that the 'number 20' continues under the orders of the medical department.
