FC Porto return to training, Tomás Pérez sidelined for treatment | OneFootball

FC Porto returned to training this Friday at the Jorge Costa Training and Sports Development Center in Olival, noting a new absence in the group led by Francesco Farioli. Tomás Pérez is undergoing treatment due to a myalgia in his left thigh, joining the previously mentioned Nehuén Pérez (in treatment and working out in the gym) and Luuk de Jong (in treatment), who were listed in the dragons' medical report.

The 20-year-old Argentine midfielder is thus expected to be out of the Italian coach's options for the match against AVS, scheduled for Monday night, corresponding to the 16th round of the Primeira Liga.

The severity of Tomás Pérez's injury, who joined FC Porto precisely a year ago from Newell’s Old Boys in a transfer worth three million euros, is yet to be determined.

On the other hand, João Teixeira from FC Porto B was called up by Farioli and joined the training session.

The blue and white squad will return to training tomorrow, Saturday, to continue preparing for the reception of AVS, the last-placed team in the Primeira Liga, in a match that will pit the extremes of the table against each other.

Borja Sainz will also be absent

In addition to the absences of Tomás Pérez, Luuk de Jong, and Nehuén Pérez, coach Francesco Farioli will also be unable to count on Borja Sainz, the Spanish forward who is serving a suspension after reaching five yellow cards in 15 rounds of the Primeira Liga.

This opens up a spot in FC Porto's starting eleven, which could be filled by William Gomes.
