Tomás Pérez set for debut, yet to play under Francesco Farioli | OneFootball

Tomás Pérez has not yet been used by FC Porto’s first team this season, and there is great anticipation regarding a possible debut in the Portuguese Cup against Sintrense next Saturday.

The 20-year-old midfielder was sidelined for several weeks due to his participation in the U-20 World Cup in Chile, where he was one of the key players for the Argentine national team, which finished the tournament in 2nd place. With Argentina, he gained the minutes and confidence that have been lacking for him with the Dragons since the start of the season.

Back from South America, the youngster was included in the squad for Utrecht, in the Europa League, but did not get to play. Even so, that call-up brings him closer to a possible appearance in the Portuguese Cup knockout stage.

Considering that the match will be held at Estádio do Dragão and against an opponent from the Campeonato de Portugal, everything points to Francesco Farioli making some changes to the team, opening a window of opportunity for the Argentine, who was signed for 3 million euros in January and has a contract valid until 2029.
