Martim Fernandes suffers moderate sprain to right ankle | OneFootball

Substituted in the 19th minute of FC Porto-Nottingham Forest, Martim Fernandes suffered a moderate sprain to his right ankle.

The MRI scan carried out by the Porto full-back after the Europa League match ruled out, according to O Jogo and also confirmed by Maisfutebol, a more serious injury — something Farioli had feared when admitting the possibility of a ligament-related problem — although the severity will still keep him out for some time.

For now, it is certain that he will miss FC Porto’s trip on Sunday to Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, where the Dragons will face Estoril.

Martim Fernandes had an unfortunate night. Shortly before the injury, which came after he was hit by an opponent played in his direction by Gabri Veiga, he ended up scoring an own goal while trying to pass the ball back to Diogo Costa.

In this Friday’s training update, FC Porto reported that the young full-back underwent treatment, while Rodrigo Mora, an unused substitute against Forest, has no limitations. For the training session, Tiago Silva, an 18-year-old midfielder from FC Porto B, was once again called up by Farioli.
