The Argentine midfielder has already returned to training with his teammates, albeit with some limitations. Everything therefore suggests that he could be an option for the next match, corresponding to the 3rd round of the Liga Portugal Betclic.

As for the Polish winger, he returned to the pitch to carry out restricted training, so he is unlikely to be available for the clash with Arouca.

Cláudio Ramos (restricted training), Martim Fernandes (treatment and gym work), Vasco Sousa (restricted training), André Miranda (restricted training) and Samu (restricted training) complete the medical bulletin.

Defender Luís Gomes, midfielder Tiago Silva, and forwards Tiago Andrade, Duarte Cunha, Cardoso Varela and Eduardo Ferreira, all from the B team, also took part in the first-team training session.
