Francesco Farioli, FC Porto’s coach, addressed the derby with Sporting in a press conference, referring to the 4th round of the League, scheduled for this Saturday at 8:30 pm.
Will Samu be fit to compete?
Regarding that: he will be available for the match. It’s worth highlighting his commitment – since his injury he has worked intensely, dedicating up to 12 hours a day to treatment and recovery. He has shown great dedication and deserves to be an option for tomorrow. I also thank the medical department for their support at Olival and even at home, at night, after dinner. It was extraordinary work; he will be part of the squad.
And what about Pablo Rosario?
He arrived recently, has already participated in a training session, and will travel to Lisbon. I know him well and have worked with him before; he can play in three different positions and is an excellent teammate and player.
