More than seven months after the right knee injury he suffered in a derby against Sporting, Samu returned to action this Sunday. The striker took part in the friendly against Académica, played at the Jorge Costa Training and Football Development Centre, in Olival.
The 22-year-old Spaniard was on the pitch for 15 minutes, but still had time to make the difference: he scored the goal that secured FC Porto’s win over the Liga 2 side.
Later, the Dragons’ number 9 took to social media to thank Pedro Silva, FC Porto’s performance director, who has played an important role in the striker’s recovery.
“I have no words to thank you for everything you’ve done for me throughout this journey, which is coming to an end,” wrote Samu on Instagram, in a post accompanied by a photo of the two of them.
