FC Porto welcome Samu back after cruciate ligament knee injury

The morning of this Wednesday brought a “special return” to the Jorge Costa Training and Sports Development Center. Recently undergone surgery, Samu returned to Olival to begin his recovery and was warmly welcomed by his teammates.

Thiago Silva and Oskar Pietuszewski were among the first to meet the Spanish forward and offered plenty of words of encouragement to their colleague.

It should be noted that Samu had to travel to Madrid to undergo surgery due to a torn cruciate ligament in his knee, an injury suffered in the Classic against Sporting (1-1).

The Spanish international therefore sees his participation in the 2026 World Cup at risk and is expected to return to the field only next season.
