Farioli confirms Martim Fernandes is out for the Estoril clash

FC Porto coach Francesco Farioli confirmed that Martim Fernandes will miss the trip to Estoril next Sunday due to the injury he suffered this Thursday in the 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals.

“He will have an MRI tonight and then we’ll know more, it seems to be something involving the ligaments. We have to wait and see. He will definitely be out for Sunday’s match. We’ll see if we can get him back for next Thursday’s game,” said the Porto coach to TNT Sports.

The Dragons’ right-back had a night to forget. After a bizarre own goal in the 13th minute, he was forced off shortly afterwards after being struck in the ankle area by Ndoye following the Forest forward’s fall after a foul by Gabri Veiga.
