Seven at Olival recovering on day off for the champion squad | OneFootball

FC Porto’s medical report remains busy at the start of the season: there are currently seven players recovering. Determined to return as soon as possible and once again contribute to the team, all of them took advantage of the day off granted yesterday by Farioli to head to the Jorge Costa Training and Sports Development Centre, in Olival, where they continued their respective recovery plans.

In the session the day before yesterday, the medical report included Cláudio Ramos (modified training), Martim Fernandes (treatment and gym work), Alan Varela (integrated modified training), Vasco Sousa (modified training), André Miranda (modified training), Oskar Pietuszewski (modified training) and Samu (modified training). Among the seven, Alan Varela has the best chance of being an option tomorrow for the home match against Arouca. Even so, the Argentine may start on the bench, given Pablo Rosario’s strong performances in the number 6 role.

It remains to be seen whether today’s training session, the last before the visit of the Wolves, will bring any news. The decision to grant a somewhat unusual day off just two days before the next match was explained by Farioli in the build-up to the clash with Rio Ave. The coach manages the workload throughout the week and, whenever the schedule allows, rewards the squad with days off. Given the team’s strong overall performances in training, especially in the physically demanding session the day before yesterday, the coach chose to give the players a rest.
