Impressive stats show Froholdt's importance at FC Porto | OneFootball

Since arriving at FC Porto last summer from Copenhagen, Victor Froholdt has taken on a highly important role. The numbers confirm the young Dane’s influence on the team coached by Francesco Farioli.

The 20-year-old midfielder did not feature in Tuesday’s match against Manchester City (0-2) after suffering a concussion in the game against Moreirense. It was only the third match he has missed since joining the Dragons. In the previous season, he had not been used against Sintrense in the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup (3-0), nor in the clash with Vitória de Guimarães (1-3) in the League Cup.

In 60 matches played by FC Porto since the start of the 2025/26 season, the national champions have recorded seven defeats. In six of those negative results, Froholdt was not in the starting eleven.

The only defeat with the Dane in the starting lineup came away to Nottingham Forest in October last year. That match marked Porto’s first defeat of the Farioli era. On matchday three of the UEFA Europa League league phase, the English side won 2-0 and later knocked FC Porto out of the competition in the quarter-finals with a 2-1 aggregate score.

Before the injury against Moreirense, Froholdt had started every game this season. The midfielder was also decisive in winning the Super Cup, scoring the only goal in the 1-0 victory over Torreense.
