Sporting's midfielder Morita Hidemasa (30) started off in the away game against Nacional, winning 4-1, and then retreated in the 32nd minute of the first half.
According to Portuguese sports newspaper Mullet, the company was replaced due to injuries. “I can't say much, but he felt a bit off and didn't want to take the risk,” Borges explained.
Last season, Morita suffered from repeated injuries and left the team repeatedly. As for 2015, he never played the full game in an official club match. This season he has started in three consecutive league games since the start of the season. He started in the Portugal Super Cup on July 31, when he lost 0-1, but he left midway through the second half.
