Alan Varela injury not serious, midfielder back in light training | OneFootball

FC Porto’s squad completed their final training session this Saturday in preparation to host Estoril on Sunday at 8:30 p.m., in a match for the 12th round of the League.

Compared to Friday morning’s session, Alan Varela’s physical improvement stood out. The Argentine midfielder suffered a trauma to his left knee during the match against Nice on Thursday, and, on the eve of the game against the Canaries, he already took part in a restricted integrated training session.

It’s also worth remembering that, in the pre-match press conference, Francesco Farioli mentioned that “two or three players” would still be assessed to determine their real availability to face Estoril. “After the match against Nice, we had two or three players with issues and of course we were left a bit short in terms of options. It’s always very difficult to recover, but the medical department is working hard for that. So, we’ll assess them this afternoon to see if they can play,” assured the Italian coach.

As for the others, Nehuén Pérez continued with his treatment regimen and gym work. The Argentine center-back still has several months of recovery ahead.
