Pietuszewski eyes return: “It’s a matter of days, not weeks” | OneFootball

Absent since pre-season due to injury, Pietuszewski has not yet had the chance to contribute to the team in official matches. The winger missed the Super Cup, the first five league rounds and the Champions League opener, but believes his return is close.

“It’s difficult to set an exact date for my return. However, I think it’s more a matter of days than weeks. Everything is going according to plan. The most important thing is to fully recover from the injury and prevent it from happening again in the future. It’s a shame not to be able to play in a match like this, but we still have many big games ahead of us,” said the young player in comments to TVP Sport, minutes before the clash between FC Porto and Man. City.

The player also spoke about the presence of several Poles in Porto’s squad, highlighting the role of Bednarek and Kiwior in his adaptation process in Portugal. “They have supported me a lot and we all help each other. That’s fantastic, because no matter what happens, we know we can count on one another. And when we have the opportunity to play together, it becomes even more special. I’m very happy to be here and to be able to compete in these competitions. I already feel at home in Porto. The weather is great, the people are amazing. Now it’s about keeping on playing, making the most of everything this city and this club have to offer, and enjoying this moment,” said the winger, who hopes to recover in time to be called up to the Poland national team for this month’s commitments.

“I hope to be fit again by then. Playing with the eagle on my chest is always an honour. I hope I can recover in time,” he added.
