Farioli gave FC Porto squad a week off after win over Benfica | OneFootball

With a fully victorious record in the Liga Portugal Betclic, which allows FC Porto to remain alone at the top, five points ahead of second place, Francesco Farioli decided to grant the squad a week off during the competition break.

The decision was taken following the 3-1 win in the clássico against Benfica. However, not all players will be able to enjoy this rest period.

The injured players will continue reporting daily to the Jorge Costa Training and Sports Development Centre, in Olival, where they will carry on following their respective recovery plans.

João Costa, Nehuén Pérez, Zaidu, Gabri Veiga, Seko Fofana, Vasco Sousa and André Miranda are the players who will not have these mini-holidays. Martim Fernandes may also join the group if he is released from the under-21 national team, following an assessment carried out in coordination with the FPF medical department.

The remaining members of the squad who are neither injured nor called up by their respective national teams will have time to recharge, although they will take a training plan with them so they can return to the team in the best possible physical condition.
