Farioli: "We’re working hard to get players back" | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli, FC Porto’s coach, previewed the match against V. Guimarães for the League Cup, scheduled for this Thursday at 8:15 PM. The Italian coach referred to recent injuries that have affected the team, particularly in the attacking sector (Luuk de Jong and Deniz Gül).

Injuries

“We have to assess the whole team. We’ve had some injuries in recent games and we need to evaluate carefully when choosing the starting eleven, to try to preserve the players’ integrity and win games.”

Will you only have Samu available in attack?

“We’ve been working hard. The squad list has to be announced later than usual because we are working hard to recover players. Those who come in will have their chances and will give everything to show what they’re worth.”

Recovery of Luuk de Jong and Deniz Gül:

“They are the two players we are trying to recover, but the situation is not the easiest. This afternoon will be a busy one for our medical department and I think for Luuk de Jong it’s a bit more complicated for him to be part of the match, with Deniz we are trying everything possible.”
