Rui Borges knows what to expect from Morita for Sporting v Porto | OneFootball

Hidemasa Morita is unlikely to be an option for Rui Borges in the Classic between Sporting and Porto, valid for the fourth round of Liga Portugal Betclic. The player missed the recovery training of the lions on their return from Madeira, being handed over to the Performance Unit, where he should remain for the rest of the week.

According to information revealed by the newspaper A Bola, the lion's structure has little hope of counting on the Japanese international for the match against the dragons, which takes place next Saturday, August 30, in Alvalade. Apart from the physical problem that forced the player to be substituted after 32 minutes of the match against Nacional, Sporting intends to take "additional precautions", due to the midfielder's regular injuries.

Thus, the same source states that the 'number 5' will only play against Porto if the Performance Unit considers that there is no risk of relapse, which, for now, seems to be a somewhat distant possibility. Thus, Kochorashvili should occupy Morita's place in the Sporting eleven, something that has already happened in Choupana.

Hidemasa Morita comes from a season marked by several physical problems. At the moment he returned to the bench, the number 5 still talked a bit with Rui Borges, a coach who wanted to better understand the player's physical condition, speaking about the midfielder's problem after the match.

The green and white emblem returns to the field next Saturday, August 30, against Porto. The match, counting for the fourth round of the National Championship, against Francesco Farioli's team, will be played at 20:30, in Alvalade.
