Sporting update on Morten Hjulmand's injury situation | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand continues to make positive progress from the injury suffered to his right ankle, and hope is already growing at Sporting that he could feature in the Portuguese Cup final against Torreense, scheduled for May 24 at Jamor.

Even so, the Lions’ captain is still not expected to be an option for the home match against Gil Vicente, a game corresponding to the final round of Liga Portugal Betclic, but the signs shown in recent days have left the green-and-white hierarchy more optimistic about the Danish international’s recovery.

It should be remembered that Hjulmand went off injured at the Estádio do Dragão in the second leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals after a challenge with Gabri Veiga. The midfielder suffered trauma to his right ankle and there were even fears in Alvalade that the ‘number 42’ might have already played his last game of the season.

However, the player’s clinical progress has exceeded initial expectations and Rui Borges now believes he may be able to count on one of the most important pieces in the Alvalade club’s midfield for the decisive Portuguese Cup match.

Meanwhile, Sporting return to training this Thursday after two days off, preparing for the clash against Gil Vicente, with Eduardo Quaresma expected to drop back into central defense alongside Gonçalo Inácio.
