The FC Porto medical department declared Borja Sainz fit on Tuesday, making him available for the match against Sintrense on Saturday, which is part of the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup.

In Porto’s victory over Famalicão (1-0), in the 11th round of the league, the Spanish winger felt “discomfort in his right ankle”—an issue that had already arisen in the previous game, against Utrecht, in the Europa League (1-1).
