Alert! Rui Borges and Sporting get worrying sign before cup final | OneFootball

Sporting continue preparing for the Portuguese Cup final against Torreense, but Rui Borges once again received discouraging news regarding one of the most influential figures in the Lions’ squad. Morten Hjulmand remained absent from training on the pitch and once again only did gym work, meaning he missed yet another preparation session for next Sunday’s decisive match at Jamor.

After already missing Tuesday’s adaptation training session, the Danish midfielder was also absent when the team returned to training in Alcochete, a situation that is causing some concern among the green-and-white faithful just a few days before the Portuguese Cup final.

It should be remembered that Hjulmand recently returned to action after the ankle injury he suffered against Porto in the semi-final of the Taça de Portugal, played on April 22. The Sporting captain only reappeared in the final league matchday, against Gil Vicente, a game in which he started and completed the full 90 minutes.

In addition to the Danish international, Rui Borges is also still unable to count on several players listed in Sporting’s medical report. Zeno Debast, João Simões, Iván Fresneda, Fotis Ioannidis and Nuno Santos remain under the care of the medical department.

at which point preparations for the final against Torreense, scheduled for Sunday at 5:15 pm at the Estádio Nacional do Jamor, will be stepped up.
