Hectic schedule forces Sporting to do without key starter | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand should soon get his well-deserved rest at Sporting. With 1,424 minutes on his legs between the Lions and Denmark, Rui Borges is expected to take advantage of the match against Alverca, next Tuesday (October 28), to allow the captain to catch his breath.

According to information revealed by the newspaper Record, the Danish international will be an option for the coach of the green and whites against Marseille (Wednesday, 22) and Tondela (Sunday, 26), but will likely be able to rest, as everything indicates, in the match valid for the Allianz Cup.

The captain of the green and whites is experiencing a level of physical wear and drop in performance never seen before, but he has felt the support of his teammates and continues to be seen as untouchable in the squad, confirmed Rui Borges, in the preview of the Champions League match. Besides that, market issues have also come to the fore, but Hjulmand promised Frederico Varandas that he would stay at Alvalade until the end of the season.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – has played in 12 matches. The captain of the green and whites started every game played by the Lions, having scored one goal in 1,090 minutes of play.

Sporting will be back on the pitch next Wednesday, October 22, against Marseille. The match, counting for the third round of the Champions League, against the team led by Roberto De Zerbi, will be played at the Estádio de Alvalade at 8:00 PM.
