Pepê awaits crucial scan to learn if he’ll feature in Saturday’s derby | OneFootball

Pepê remains in doubt for Saturday's classic between Sporting and FC Porto. According to the 'Maisfutebol' portal, the Brazilian winger underwent a post-operative examination this Tuesday following a trauma to one of his eyes, which prevented him from lining up against Casa Pia.

The same source states that the results will be known this Wednesday, at which time it will be known whether the player will be an option for Farioli at Alvalade.

If deemed unfit, it is likely that Pepê will give his place to compatriot William Gomes, who stood out against Casa Pia and scored one of the goals for the Portistas.

Like Pepê, Samu is also a question mark for the match with the national champions. The Spanish forward suffered a grade one muscle tear in his left thigh and, according to 'Maisfutebol', he resorted to a private physiotherapist to try to speed up the recovery.
