Player goes straight into the squad to start against Sporting

Martim Fernandes is one of the main names in contention to be part of FC Porto’s starting eleven for the match against Sporting.

Martim Fernandes is the leading candidate to fill the left-back position for FC Porto in the clash with Sporting. The player had been sidelined due to a sprain but recovered in time for the second leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals.

Zaidu Sanusi is unavailable for Francesco Farioli, while Jakub Kiwior will remain in central defence. Francisco Moura, meanwhile, will start on the bench despite being the only natural left-back in the squad.
