After Porto - Red Star, Farioli faces key absences for Benfica | OneFootball

Porto has already returned to training, aiming for the reception of Benfica, after having defeated Red Star, a match counting for the Europa League. Despite the positive result, not everything is good news for Franscesco Farioli, coach of the blue and whites. As far as we know, through the newspaper A Bola, the Portistas have three significant absences for the reception of the eagles.

Already thinking about the duel, which will take place next Sunday, October 5, the Italian coach has two significant absences due to injury, such as the cases of Nehuén Pérez, who suffered a total rupture of the Achilles tendon, in the match against Nacional. Just like the Argentine, Luuk de Jong will also not be able to contribute to the dragons.

with the absence of Martim Fernandes. Remember that the young footballer was expelled in the match against Arouca, in the last round of the championship.

The blue and white team returns to Olival, the dragons' training center, for another round of work, during the day on Saturday, October 4, due to the little time they have.

For Saturday afternoon, at 4:00 PM, a press conference is scheduled where the Italian coach will launch the match against Benfica. It's worth remembering that, an hour earlier, José Mourinho has a meeting scheduled with the journalists, but the preview will be at Estádio da Luz and not at Seixal, as usual.
