Pablo Rosario makes FC Porto training debut, fresh updates on Samu | OneFootball

FC Porto held another training session this Thursday in preparation for the derby with Sporting, with special attention to Pablo Rosario and Samu. Pablo Rosario, formerly of Nice, trained for the first time under the orders of Francesco Farioli, after being officially announced as a reinforcement with a contract for the next four seasons.

As for the Spanish forward, he left the treatment sessions and moved to conditioned training and gym work, raising expectations that he might be an option for the game scheduled for 8:30 PM on Saturday.

Samu suffered a muscle tear in the front of his left thigh and has been doing extra recovery hours at Olival and in a private center, in an attempt to recover in time. Recent signs are positive, and in the blue and white universe, hope is growing that the forward might be called up. The process will be managed until the last minute, keeping all scenarios open – starting, substitute, or in the stands – but it is certain that the player is making every effort to be an option.

The same goes for Pepê, who is doing gym work. The player suffered, on the eve of the match against Casa Pia, a trauma to the right eye with ocular injury and has been working to return in time for the third-round match. At the beginning of the week, he underwent a "shock" treatment, ocular cryotherapy – a procedure that uses very low temperatures to freeze and eliminate abnormal or damaged tissues in the eye, allowing the body to remove the injured cells and start the healing process.
