André Villas-Boas at Porto training ahead of Malmö clash | OneFootball

By late Wednesday morning, FC Porto’s first team had completed their preparations for the sixth and antepenultimate round of the Europa League, in a session where the first 15 minutes were open to the media, in accordance with UEFA regulations.

The training session began about half an hour later than scheduled and was attended by the president of the blue and white club, André Villas-Boas, who closely followed the exercises led by the Italian coach Francesco Farioli, who received some good news.

Gabri Veiga trained with the rest of his teammates without any limitations, after suffering a sprain to his right ankle last Thursday in the 1-3 defeat against Vitória SC at Estádio do Dragão, which resulted in elimination from the League Cup quarter-finals.

The Spanish playmaker had been substituted at halftime by Rodrigo Mora (after scoring the opening goal in the eighth minute, which ultimately proved not to be decisive) and, as a precaution, remained on the bench during the 0-2 win at Estádio João Cardoso against Tondela.

All indications are that he will be available for the match against the Swedish side, scheduled for 8:00 p.m. (Portuguese mainland time) next Thursday at Estádio do Dragão, which will be refereed by Norwegian Rohit Saggi, 33, who will be officiating a Portuguese club for the first time.
