Pablo Rosario to face Benfica, set for Porto move

Pablo Rosario is available for Francesco Farioli in this afternoon's game against Benfica, which could be the second time the Dominican international steps onto the Luz pitch this season. This did not happen because the midfielder refused to play for Nice in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League, in a controversial decision reported by coach Franck Haise… with FC Porto already watching.

"Pablo is about to leave and does not want to play against Benfica. I knew since the first leg that he was not very willing to take risks during the transfer window. There has been talk of Paris FC and FC Porto," revealed the Frenchman, on the eve of the match at Luz. The prediction came true.
