Morita’s absence from Tondela v Sporting explained | OneFootball

Hidemasa Morita was left out of the match sheet for the Tondela - Sporting game last Sunday, October 26, which the Lions ended up winning 3-0. It is now known that the Japanese international is suffering from a viral infection, which was the reason for his absence from the match.

The newspaper Record reports, in its latest edition, that the situation is not serious, but it was enough for the number 5 to miss this game. Even so, the Lions believe the player will be fit for the Allianz Cup, already this Tuesday.

"Morita had a problem yesterday, I wouldn't call it a health issue, but he wasn't feeling well, and he was not available for the match. I believe he will be available for Tuesday (against Alverca) and for the upcoming games," admitted Rui Borges, in the quick interview area at the end of the match, without adding much more.

Sporting will be back on the field this Tuesday, October 28, against Alverca. The match, counting for the quarter-finals of the League Cup, against the team led by Custódio, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade at 8:30 p.m.
