Mame Niang catches Farioli’s eye in first-team training | OneFootball

On a day marked by the first anniversary of Jorge Costa’s death, FC Porto continued preparing for Sunday’s match against Alverca. The main news in training was the integration of forward Mame Niang, brought by Francesco Farioli into the Dragons’ B team.

In total, the coach called up seven players from the reserve side for this Wednesday morning’s session with the first team: goalkeeper Gonçalo Ribeiro, defender Luís Gomes, midfielders Tiago Silva and Bernardo Lima, as well as forwards Mateus Mide, Duarte Cunha and Mame Niang.

While awaiting the arrival of the much-desired striker, the coach is assessing the options available in the B team and, this time, gave an opportunity to the 20-year-old Senegalese player.

There were also changes in the medical report. Alberto Costa, who yesterday began treatment for a bruise to his right thigh, has already moved on from that stage and was limited to modified work on the pitch. Centre-back Bednarek, meanwhile, combined gym work with treatment for the injury suffered in the Super Cup, following the poor condition of the pitch at the Cidade de Coimbra.

Cláudio Ramos, undergoing treatment, and Vasco Sousa, André Miranda and Samu, doing modified training, remained on the same schedule as the previous day.
