Farioli was not the only one left without a large part of his squad during this international break. João Brandão, coach of FC Porto’s B team, was also without nine players when training resumed after four days off. Gabriel Brás and Gonçalo Ribeiro with the under-21s; Dinis Rodrigues, Gonçalo Sousa and Tiago Andrade with the under-20s; Bernardo Lima and Mateus Mide with the under-19s; Duarte Cunha with the under-18s; and finally Melnichenko with Belarus’s under-21s make up the list of absentees, which ended up opening the door for the promotion of Filipe Sousa, an 18-year-old defender, Tcherno Jamanca, a 16-year-old forward with 25 goals in the under-17 championship, and João Brito, a 17-year-old midfielder.
In addition, there are also six injured players: Chelmik, Martim Cunha, Yoan Pereira, André Miranda and André Oliveira.
