Emanuel Benjamín suffers ligament tear, set for surgery | OneFootball

Emanuel Benjamín, a right-back signed by FC Porto from Real Madrid, suffered a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during his debut for the Dragons’ B team against Vizela.

The 19-year-old defender has already begun treatment and will undergo surgery when appropriate. The injury occurred in his left knee, which had no previous medical history.

After Monday’s draw (2-2), João Brandão, coach of Porto’s reserve team, had already expressed concern about the player’s physical condition. “It doesn’t look like good news, let’s wait for the results of the additional tests. We’ll wait for the tests, but the news doesn’t seem very good,” he said.

FC Porto B’s medical update also includes André Oliveira, who is undergoing treatment, and Brayan Caicedo, who is doing modified training.
