After cryptic post, Sporting give Morita a special plan | OneFootball

Hidemasa Morita is going through a very difficult personal period. After the long outpouring on social media, which worried Sporting fans, the midfielder started a preventive muscle strengthening plan to try to return to his best competitive form.

According to information provided by the newspaper A Bola, the midfielder's post had nothing to do with mental health, but rather with the constant physical problems he has been facing since last season, losing his starting position at Sporting.

Excluded from the Japanese national team due to limited playtime at Alvalade and not being at 100%, Morita is taking advantage of the FIFA break to try to improve his physical condition, with an eye on the remainder of Sporting's season and the 2026 World Cup.

The biggest national team competition on the planet will be played in a few months and the midfielder is worried about not being in condition to be called up. Therefore, Sporting's number 5 is following a rigorous muscle strengthening plan, trying to reverse the situation that, in the last year and a half, has caused him to miss 21 games for the Lions.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Hidemasa Morita - valued at 11 million euros - has played 14 matches. At the start of this season, the Japanese international midfielder played a total of 633 minutes, during which he assisted his teammates on one occasion.
