FC Porto will not have Martim Fernandes for the Classic against Benfica. The right-back was sent off for accumulating yellow cards in the match against Arouca and will be ineligible to be used by Francesco Farioli.

Recently recovered from injury, Martim Fernandes thus sees his participation in next week's match barred, when the blue and white team will face Benfica.

For his position, Francesco Farioli can count on Alberto Costa, although he is not yet at the ideal pace; Pablo Rosario, originally a midfielder, has also been used in the position.
