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

Hidemasa Morita is not expected to be an option for Rui Borges in the Classic between Sporting and Porto, valid for the fourth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The player missed the lions' recovery training after returning from Madeira, being handed over to the Performance Unit, where he is expected to stay for the rest of the week.

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

Therefore, 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. Therefore, Kochorashvili is expected to take Morita's place in the eleven of Sporting, something that has already happened in Choupana.

Hidemasa Morita comes from a season marked by several physical problems. When he returned to the substitutes' bench, the number 5 had a brief dialogue with Rui Borges, a coach who wanted to better understand the physical condition of his player, speaking about the midfielder's problem after the match.

The green and white emblem will return to the field next Saturday, August 30, against Porto. The match, counting for the fourth round of the National Championship, against the team led by Francesco Farioli, will be played at 8:30 pm, at Alvalade.
