Alberto Costa trains separately and Bednarek misses Alverca | OneFootball

FC Porto’s medical bulletin brought updates after this Wednesday’s training session.

Alberto Costa, who had suffered a bruise to his right thigh, no longer needed treatment and remains on a modified training programme. As A BOLA reported, the full-back’s availability for Sunday’s match against Alverca is not in doubt. The injury was caused by trauma and, all signs suggest, will be fully healed in time for the opening league round.

Jan Bednarek has also started gym work, in addition to treatment at Olival. The Polish centre-back will miss the game against the Ribatejo side following the strain suffered to the ligament in his right knee during the Super Cup. Even so, the player who wears the No. 5 shirt has already begun gym work.

Cláudio Ramos (treatment), Vasco Sousa (modified training), André Miranda (modified training) and Samu (modified training) complete the list of players who remain on the medical bulletin. The session also included several members of the B team, among whom striker Mame Niang stood out, having been signed this summer from Norway’s HamKam.
