Hjulmand keeps pushing at Sporting, one striking detail explains it all | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand has been one of the most utilized figures at Sporting this season, presenting numbers that reflect his enormous influence on the team. The Lions’ captain, under Rui Borges, has racked up minute after minute on his legs.

The Danish midfielder has already accumulated 3,272 minutes across 36 matches, standing out not only for his consistency but also for his ability to remain on the pitch for almost the entire 90 minutes in nearly every game this season.

In fact, his average playing time is particularly impressive: 91 minutes per game, a figure above the regular time, explained by his contribution in matches that went into extra time. These scenarios occurred in three Portuguese Cup games: AFS SAD, Santa Clara, and Paços de Ferreira, in which the Nordic midfielder completed the full 120 minutes.

With this track record, the Lions’ midfielder heads into the upcoming challenges with the possibility of once again being decisive in long matches, confirming himself as one of the most resilient and influential players in Sporting’s squad. This could happen this Wednesday against Bodo/Glimt.
