Emanuel Benjamín suffers anterior cruciate ligament rupture on FC Porto B debut, surgery planned | OneFootball

Emanuel Benjamín, a right-back signed from Real Madrid, sustained an anterior cruciate ligament rupture on his FC Porto B debut against Vizela.

According to O Jogo, the 19-year-old has received treatment and will undergo surgery in due course. The tear is in his left knee, where he had no prior injuries.

After Monday's 2-2 draw, head coach João Brandão was not optimistic, saying they would wait for further tests and that it did not look good.

The B team's medical bulletin also lists André Oliveira as undergoing treatment and Brayan Caicedo in conditioned training.

Porto B, led by Brandão, face Leixões on 10 October at Estádio do Mar in Matosinhos in the seventh round of the II Liga. Preparation continues tomorrow, Thursday, at Olival.
