Thiago Silva participated fully and without limitations this Tuesday in FC Porto’s first training session in preparation for the match against Stuttgart, scheduled for the day after tomorrow (8pm).
As our newspaper previously reported, it was up to the central defender to decide whether he would be fit for this second leg of the Europa League Round of 16, and according to our findings, the Brazilian has given the green light regarding his availability. It is now up to coach Francesco Farioli to decide whether to call him up and include him in the starting eleven.
Before stepping onto the pitches at the Jorge Costa Training and Sports Development Center in Olival, Thiago Silva received support from teammates, the coaching staff, and other FC Porto staff members, as has been happening both publicly and privately since the player received the news of his mother's passing last Saturday.
Unavailable for the match due to injury are Nehuén Pérez (restricted training), Luuk de Jong (treatment and gym), and Samu (treatment), who are continuing with their respective recovery plans.
António Ribeiro, Luís Gomes, Tiago Andrade, and Gonçalo Sousa from the B team trained under the orders of Francesco Farioli. Tomorrow, the Dragons will conclude their preparations for the match against Stuttgart and, at the end of the session, a player and the coach will be available to journalists in Olival for the Europa League match preview.
