Morten Hjulmand has not been having easy days at Sporting. The captain of the green and whites is experiencing a level of physical exhaustion and a drop in performance never seen before, but he has felt the support of his teammates and continues to be seen as untouchable within the squad.

The truth is that, despite the less successful matches from the Danish international, he remains crucial for Rui Borges’ team, as the coach himself confirmed in a press conference previewing the match against Marseille.

Therefore, Hjulmand will continue to hold his untouchable status at Sporting—despite his dip in form and the transfer market, which continues to entice him—and, for the Champions League, he will once again be an undisputed starter for the green and whites.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand—valued at 50 million euros—has played in 12 matches. The captain of the green and whites has started every game played by the Lions, scoring one goal in 1,090 minutes of play.

The match, counting for the third round of the Champions League, against the team led by Roberto De Zerbi, will be played at the Estádio de Alvalade at 8:00 p.m.
