No major updates in FC Porto’s medical bulletin three days before the clássico against Benfica. Victor Froholdt and Oskar Pietuszewski returned to training on a limited basis during preparations for Matchday 7 of the league, and it is expected that at least the Dane could be back as an option for Farioli.
The blue-and-white squad trained again this morning ahead of Sunday’s home match against the Eagles, scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Even so, the medical department still has eight players under observation. João Costa, Nehuén Pérez and Zaidu underwent treatment, while the goalkeeper and the Argentine centre-back also did gym work.
Vasco Sousa and André Miranda also followed a limited training program. Meanwhile, Samu took part in the session with the group, although on a limited basis. To strengthen the first-team training session, Farioli called up defender Luís Gomes and midfielder Tiago Silva, both from the B team.
FC Porto return to training on Saturday morning. Francesco Farioli’s pre-match press conference will take place at 12:45 p.m.
