Samu begins recovery at Olival after surgery in Madrid

Although the FC Porto squad had a day off yesterday, the Jorge Costa Training and Sports Development Center in Olival remained active. The injured players went to the Porto headquarters to speed up their respective recoveries. The novelty was the presence of Samu.

Returning from Madrid, where he underwent surgery, the forward began treatment for his injury at Olival. Like the Spaniard, Luuk de Jong also went through the same process, so neither of them is expected to return to competition this season. Kiwior, Martim Fernandes, and Thiago Silva are further along in their recoveries, but it is unlikely that any of them will be available for the match against Arouca the day after tomorrow. Nehuén was also at Olival, but he is only expected to return to the pitch in May.
