Good news: Rodrigo Mora should be fit in time for FC Porto-Famalicão | OneFootball

FC Porto continued training together with the B team, seeking to make up for the absences caused by international duty and physical problems affecting both squads. As happened on Saturday, under-19 defender Filipe Sousa and under-17 midfielder João Brito and forward Tcherno Jamanca were again involved in the session led by Francesco Farioli and João Brandão, as part of coordination between age groups that has already been repeated several times throughout the season.

In addition to the long-term injuries to Samu, Luuk de Jong and Nehuén Pérez, Diogo Costa and Rodrigo Mora remain under treatment, both with muscle complaints: the goalkeeper in his adductors, due to compensations associated with the dorsolumbar pain that affected him in the final week before the break; the midfielder in his left thigh.

The injuries are not causing concern, and the recovery timetable for Mora, as indicated by Farioli, should not, in principle, rule him out of Saturday’s home match against Famalicão, although the coach is preparing alternatives. This is especially because Gabri Veiga’s absence is certain, having completed a run of five yellow cards in Braga. Rodrigo is the natural replacement for the Galician and, if his recovery takes longer than expected, Seko Fofana, currently on duty with Ivory Coast, or Pablo Rosario, a Dominican Republic international, could be options. With Nottingham’s visit scheduled only for 8 April, squad management becomes simpler.
