FC Porto lose Brayan Caicedo to serious knee injury | OneFootball

The misfortune continues for FC Porto. After confirming the impossibility of Luuk de Jong returning to the field this season, Brayan Caicedo, the striker from the B team, also suffered a serious injury that will keep him out of competition.

The Colombian, who scored a "stunning goal" in the 2-4 victory over Leixões in Matosinhos, suffered a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The forward is being monitored by the medical department and will undergo surgery on a date yet to be determined.

This setback further complicates the club's offensive options, at a time when Farioli had already lost De Jong for the rest of the season. Caicedo, who had been called up to the main team as a backup solution, is now unavailable.

In the secondary team's medical report, João Moreira and Martim Cunha continue treatment and gym work, while João Teixeira follows a workload management plan.
