FC Porto: seven players reported to Olival on day off | OneFootball

FC Porto face Arouca next Sunday in the 3rd round of the league. With managing physical workload in mind during this early stage of the season, Francesco Farioli decided to give the squad the day off this Friday.

Not all the players stayed away from the club’s facilities, however. Cláudio Ramos, Martim Fernandes, Alan Varela, Vasco Sousa, André Miranda, Oskar Pietuszewski and Samu were at the CTFD Jorge Costa in the morning, where they continued their respective recovery plans.

Among this group, Alan Varela is the closest to making a full return. The Argentine midfielder already worked with the rest of his teammates on Thursday, although still under some limitations, and could once again be an option for Francesco Farioli for the clash with Arouca, scheduled for Sunday at 8:30 pm.

The national champions’ squad return to training on Saturday. On that day, the Italian coach will also hold the pre-match press conference ahead of the league’s 3rd round fixture.
