Sporting concerned over Hjulmand injury, captain worry at Alvalade | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand missed Denmark’s last training session. Currently with the national team during this FIFA break, the Sporting captain was rested by Brian Riemer, as he arrived from Alvalade with some physical complaints due to heavy usage at the Club.

The Danish staff are expected to rest the midfielder for the match against Belarus, in order to avoid more serious problems. Although he is fit to play, Hjulmand’s fatigue could lead to a prolonged muscle injury.

Fatigue has taken hold of Hjulmand, especially after the Lions’ last match. In the Azores, against Santa Clara, the number 42 was tireless, on a pitch in very poor condition. Morten crowned his performance with the winning goal, scored after the 90th minute.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – has played in 17 matches: 11 in Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In the 1,540 minutes he’s been on the pitch, the Lions’ captain has scored two goals and provided one assist.
