Scans confirm Zaidu injury to right adductor

More bad news for FC Porto: the medical tests carried out this Sunday confirmed the adductor injury in Zaidu’s right leg, suffered during the win over Académico in Viseu.

There is still no official estimate for how long the left-back will be sidelined, but the player is expected to face several weeks of recovery. As such, his return to competition is only likely to happen after the next break in the domestic leagues, scheduled for late September and early October.

If this scenario is confirmed, Zaidu will, at the very least, miss the league matches against Moreirense, Casa Pia and Benfica, as well as the Champions League opener against Manchester City at the Estádio do Dragão.
