Gabri Veiga plays through discomfort, scores in clássico after late-night treatment | OneFootball

Gabri Veiga played through a muscle issue to score in Porto’s clássico against Benfica, then felt the problem and has now lost his holidays. According to O Jogo, the Spaniard was determined not to miss the game.

He underwent treatment for several days and, on the eve of the match, stayed with a physiotherapist until the early hours. He scored in the clássico, only to feel the discomfort again when he did so.

Born in Porriño in Galicia, Veiga has quickly embraced Porto’s values.

Staff who work with him daily suggest he could pass for an Olival academy product.

Lined up as a reinforcement for the Club World Cup, he has started his second season at FC Porto in strong form.
