Bednarek and Borja Sainz suffer knocks, back in two weeks

There is good news in contrast to the bad luck: the injuries to Bednarek and Borja Sainz are not serious and do not warrant additional concern. This Monday, both underwent follow-up exams that detected, in the central defender, a strain in the ligament of his left knee and, in the Spanish winger, a trauma to his right ankle.

The estimated recovery time is about two weeks, so both should be available for the next official match of the Dragons at Estádio do Dragão, in the Portuguese Cup, on the 22nd, as stated by Francesco Farioli.

In light of these injuries, FC Porto requested the release of the players called up by the national teams of Poland and the Basque Country. Thus, the athletes will recover in the coming days at the Jorge Costa Training and Sports Development Center, in Olival.
