Luuk de Jong returned to training with the Porto squad this Wednesday, more than two months after suffering a sprain in his left knee during a friendly against Lus. Lourosa. The forward has entered a phase of conditional integration, a stage planned in the recovery process, and he did not hide his satisfaction at returning to the collective work environment.

“Of course I missed this, getting back to working with the team is good, a positive feeling,” said the Dutchman to FC Porto's media, emphasizing the importance of this step after weeks of rehabilitation.

De Jong even described the return as the culmination of a demanding journey: “I feel very good, first day back with the team and I am very happy. It was a long journey, but with hard work under the care of the medical staff, I am happy to be back with my teammates.”

The striker's integration will be gradual, and the enthusiasm shown by the player provides encouraging signs for the future.
