As well as Morita and Quenda, another star bids Sporting fans farewell | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand was the main new face in Sporting’s starting eleven after recovering from the injury to his right ankle suffered against Porto in the second leg of the Portuguese Cup, played on April 22. The Danish midfielder returned to action and gave the impression that he may have played his last match at Alvalade.

During the customary lap of honour, the midfielder’s gestures were interpreted by many fans as signs of farewell. The player appeared particularly emotional in his interaction with the supporters, further fuelling rumours of a possible summer departure.

Before that, he still has the Portuguese Cup final ahead of him at the National Stadium. The match at Jamor could serve as the final chapter in the Dane’s connection with the Alvalade club, with the possibility of winning another trophy wearing the Lion on his chest.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at €45 million – has taken part in 44 matches: 27 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, five in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Super Cup.
