Fofana already at Olival, first training on Thursday

Fofana is a player well known within the squad, but as soon as he signed for FC Porto and completed all the paperwork, he made a point of heading to Olival. The new signing spent lunchtime with his teammates and the coaching staff, having been introduced in the dressing room after training and then having lunch with his new colleagues.

Porto will register Fofana in the league later this Wednesday, although it is unlikely that Francesco Farioli will call him up for the visit to Académico de Viseu. The player still needs to regain his competitive rhythm, as he has not played in any matches this season. Fofana will wear the number 42 again, a tribute to his idol Yaya Touré.
