Martim Fernandes and Alan Varela increasingly unlikely to face Salzburg

After a day of rest, the FC Porto squad resumed training this Monday at Olival, preparing for Thursday's match (8:00 PM) against Salzburg in Austria, for the 1st round of the Europa League.

Francesco Farioli once again recorded five absences, all due to injury. Of these five, Martim Fernandes (integrated training with restrictions) and Alan Varela (in treatment and at the gym) are the only ones who might still make it in time for the match against Salzburg, although this is becoming increasingly unlikely.

Nehuén Pérez (post-operative monitoring), Alberto Costa (restricted training), and Luuk de Jong (in treatment) are out of the technical options for this match, as well as Stephen Eustáquio, the latter due to being sent off in his last game in the competition, against Roma, in the previous edition of the Europa League.

The team will train again tomorrow morning, once more at Olival.
