Rodrigo Mora suffers fresh injury and set to miss Nottingham match | OneFootball

Rodrigo Mora was once again in the spotlight, though for all the wrong reasons. After a muscle injury to his left thigh kept him out of Sporting Braga and the National Team duties, the Porto midfielder seemed to be on the road to recovery. However, fate struck again, and the player suffered another setback that could put his presence in one of the most important matches of the season at risk.

In the match against Famalicão, Mora was brought on by the team as an option from the bench, but the hope of seeing the young Porto talent in action quickly faded. Shortly after the goal that gave FC Porto a 1-0 lead, the player showed clear signs of pain in his right thigh, putting his hand on the injured area. Despite trying to push through and stay on the pitch, his physical condition worsened to the point that he had to be substituted before half-time, in an exit that left Dragão fans on alert.

The situation concerns not only the fans, but also coach Francesco Farioli, who did not hide his pessimism about a recovery in time for the important Europa League clash against Nottingham Forest. “We have to assess it, but I think it will be difficult for him to recover,” the coach admitted, leaving open the possibility of Mora missing this decisive match.
