Trofim Melnichenka under Francesco Farioli's guidance

Due to the unavailability of Luuk de Jong and Deniz Gül, Francesco Farioli called up Trofim Melnichenka, the B team's striker, to this Tuesday's training session, along with midfielder João Teixeira. The 19-year-old Belarusian, who has around a dozen caps for his country's senior national team, is in his second season with the Dragons' reserve team, after coming through the ranks at Dinamo Minsk. For FC Porto, Melnichenka has made 27 appearances and scored three goals. Tomorrow, he could be among those called up for the match against V. Guimarães.
