Morten Hjulmand has been going through a period of increased physical wear and has not been standing out with the performances that used to excite Sporting fans. The leonine captain is starting to show signs of fatigue from the eight full matches played since the beginning of the season, split between the Alvalade Club and the Danish national team.
The last match was also marked by the penalty he missed against Kairat, which further lowered the player's spirits, who was already experiencing accumulated fatigue. However, the 'number 42' will be forced to overcome this phase with... more games.
Despite the physical deficit presented, Rui Borges will once again choose Hjulmand for Sporting's starting eleven against Moreirense this Monday, September 22, and, according to the newspaper Record, the Danish international ended up reinforcing his management work to be at full strength for any of the lions' challenges.
At the same time, Hjulmand continues to be enticed by Tottenham. The Sporting captain is highly appreciated by the Spurs' structure, which has had the Danish midfielder on their radar for several months, as well as Ruben Amorim's Manchester United and other foreign giants.
This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Morten Hjulmand - valued at 50 million euros - has participated in seven matches. The captain of the greens and whites started in all the matches played by the lions, having scored one goal in 610 minutes of play.
