Diogo Rêma suffers serious injury, set to miss 6 to 8 months | OneFootball

This is a major setback for FC Porto – in the remaining league matches, the European League, and the Portuguese Cup – and also for the National Team, already looking ahead to Euro 2026.

Diogo Rêma, the Dragons’ goalkeeper, suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the classic against Sporting and will remain inactive for an estimated recovery period of six to eight months.

The keeper complained as early as the 6th minute, returned to the pitch, but ended up aggravating the injury and was carried off on shoulders.

With Diogo Rêma’s absence, the National Team sees its options for the goal reduced at the European Championship, where Rêma himself and Gustavo Capdeville, from Benfica, had been key references.

Miguel Espinha, goalkeeper for North Macedonia’s Vardar, emerges as the most likely candidate to succeed Rêma, followed by Diogo Valério from Olympiacos and Pedro Tonicher from Cuenca.

Also at risk of missing the tournament, which will take place in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway between January 15 and February 1, is center-back Miguel Martins from Dinamo Bucharest.

The international player is still recovering from a serious injury and may not be fit in time to be included in the final squad selected by coach Paulo Pereira, which is expected to be announced next week.
