Farioli on the injury “epidemic”: “We’ll have a word with the president…” | OneFootball

After the FC Porto-Nacional (1-0) match, pertaining to the fifth round of the I League, Francesco Farioli spoke.

Concerned about the high number of injuries before a demanding period? "We know that, unfortunately, with the schedule of recent years, not only at FC Porto, but it's an epidemic in professional football. These players work, recover, change coaches, training methods, with physical and mental stimuli... we've been somewhat unlucky with these injuries. Today an injury to the tendon, we have four with knee contusion problems... we hope to end this dynamic, but when an injury appears we have to push the others even more. It's important for us to have some more longevity in the team, so we're going to talk to the president and the club to see if we can do something to help the team for the next period".
