Farioli confirms two returns and key absence: “Still in a lot of pain”

Francesco Farioli spoke to journalists at the CTFD Jorge Costa during the pre-match press conference for the game between Rio Ave and FC Porto. The Italian coach gave an update on the team’s injury situation:

“Medical update? Alan Varela is out, he is still in a lot of pain. André Silva has already returned to training and I think he will be available for the match, as will Alberto. Cláudio Ramos is still recovering and we are waiting for him.”
