After a day of rest, FC Porto's squad resumed training this Monday at Olival, preparing for Thursday's (8:00 PM) match against Salzburg in Austria, for the 1st round of the Europa League.
Francesco Farioli again recorded five absences, all due to injury. Of these five, Martim Fernandes (conditional integrated training) and Alan Varela (undergoing treatment and in the gym) are the only ones who may still make it in time for the match with Salzburg, although this is becoming increasingly unlikely.
Nehuén Pérez (post-operative surveillance), Alberto Costa (conditional training) and Luuk de Jong (undergoing treatment) are out of the technical options for this match, as well as Stephen Eustáquio, the latter having been expelled in his last match in the competition, against Roma, in the previous edition of the Europa League.
The team will train again tomorrow morning, again at Olival.
