FC Porto: Francisco Moura injury doubt for the Clássico | OneFootball

Francisco Moura is the latest addition to FC Porto’s medical department, with a muscle injury in his left adductor, casting doubt on his presence in the match against Benfica on the 14th, at the Dragão, for the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup.

The left-back was injured during the first half of the game against Santa Clara, in the Azores, in the last round of the first half of the league.

He was replaced by Alberto Costa. This is bad news for the Dragons’ coach, Francesco Farioli, who now only has the versatile Martim Fernandes available for the left flank. It should be noted that Nigerian player Zaidu is still competing with his national team in the Africa Cup of Nations, with a quarter-final match scheduled against Algeria.

This season, Francisco Moura has played 22 matches, with two goals and two assists. Statistically, he is still well below last season, when he recorded four goals and eleven assists, a milestone in his career. He was even considered by Roberto Martínez as an option to join the national team.

In the medical report, the number 74 now joins Nehuén Pérez (treatment and gym) and Luuk de Jong (treatment).
