André Silva steps up to modified training, closer to FC Porto squad | OneFootball

André Silva took part this Friday in conditioned integrated training, a positive development in the recovery of the FC Porto forward that brings him closer to returning to Francesco Farioli’s options. The striker injured his right ankle in the home match against Alverca and has undergone treatment and gym work in recent days.

The blue-and-white side finished, at the Jorge Costa Training and Football Development Centre in Olival, their preparations for the match against Rio Ave in Vila do Conde. The game, valid for the second round of the league, is scheduled for this Saturday at 8:30pm.

André Silva’s progress thus confirms the statements made by Francesco Farioli at the pre-match press conference, in which the Italian coach revealed that the forward’s physical condition was improving.

Alberto Costa also returned to conditioned integrated training, continuing the recovery process that began the previous day. The right-back is recovering from a bruise to his right thigh and could be an option for the trip to Arcos, increasing Farioli’s alternatives for the second league matchday.

Cláudio Ramos, Alan Varela, Vasco Sousa, André Miranda, Oskar Pietuszewski and Samu remain on FC Porto’s injury list. Alan Varela continues to undergo treatment and gym work and is confirmed unavailable. Meanwhile, Duarte Cunha and Eduardo Ferreira, forwards from the B team, once again trained with the main squad.
