Porto shake up starting XI for clash with Vitória Guimarães

The call-ups of Ángel Alarcón and Yann Karamoh – the latter making his debut as a starter – are the main highlights of the “revolution” carried out by Francesco Farioli for the match against Vitória, corresponding to the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

The coach of the Porto side made nine changes compared to the game against Estoril last weekend, with Pablo Rosario – although moving back to central defense – and Borja Sainz being the only players who remain in the lineup.

For Vitória, Luís Pinto made only three changes compared to the match against AVS in the league: Tony Strata, Samu, and Mitrovic come in, replacing Miguel Maga, Gonçalo Nogueira, and Noah Saviolo.
