Rui Borges hopes for a boost ahead of Sporting v Alverca | OneFootball

Although he was not included in Rui Borges' options for the Tondela - Sporting match, Hidemasa Morita is expected to be fit to play in the League Cup against Alverca. It was a virus that kept the player out of last Sunday's match, October 26, from which the Lions emerged victorious.

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. Nevertheless, the Lions believe the player will be fit for the Allianz Cup this Tuesday.

"Morita had a problem yesterday, not a health issue, he felt unwell, and was not available for the game. I believe he will be available for Tuesday (against Alverca) and for the remaining games," admitted Rui Borges in the quick interview area at the end of the match, without adding much new information.

The match, counting for the League Cup quarter-finals, against the team led by Custódio, will be played at the José Alvalade Stadium at 8:30 PM.
