Hjulmand's wife shares grim photo of Sporting captain's foot | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand’s physical condition has once again become a talking point after an image of the Sporting captain’s ankle was released, showing significant inflammation. The photo was shared on social media by Emilie Sofie Nissen, the Danish midfielder’s partner, revealing the seriousness of the injury.

The problem began in the classic against Porto, in the Portuguese Cup, when Gabri Veiga stepped on the midfielder’s right heel still in the first half. Despite the heavy challenge, the Sporting captain managed to stay on the pitch for some time, eventually coming off in the 50th minute, already showing clear signs of discomfort.

The injury now raises serious doubts about the player’s availability for what remains of the season, putting his participation in the final stages at risk. It is a potentially major blow for Rui Borges, given the player’s importance.

The incident continues to spark controversy, especially since the Porto player was not punished at the time. Meanwhile, Sporting has filed a disciplinary complaint in an attempt to have the case reviewed by the proper authorities.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at €45 million – has played in 43 matches: 26 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, five in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Super Cup.
