Porto to reassess Martim Fernandes after plantar fasciitis flare, Froholdt available for Stuttgart

Porto will reassess Martim Fernandes after a right foot plantar fasciitis flare in the clássico at the Luz, which could put his involvement against Stuttgart at risk, according to O Jogo.

The right-back was making his return after almost a month out and lasted until the 58th minute before going off.
