Villas-Boas joins team for penultimate training before Rio Ave | OneFootball

On Friday, FC Porto held their penultimate training session in preparation for the match against Rio Ave, scheduled for Sunday at Estádio do Dragão. The session was attended by president André Villas-Boas, who wanted to be with the team ahead of another game of great importance for the blue and whites.

According to the video released by FC Porto, André Villas-Boas had a lively conversation on the pitch with coach Francesco Farioli, although at times both observed the session with greater seriousness, during which five absences were noted.

Martim Fernandes (treatment and gym work), Nehuén Pérez (restricted training), Jakub Kiwior (restricted training), Luuk de Jong (treatment), and Samu (post-operative monitoring) continued their recovery from their respective injuries.

In light of these absences, the Dragons' coach called up four players from the B team – center-backs António Ribeiro, Gabriel Brás, and Luís Gomes, as well as midfielder André Oliveira and winger Tiago Andrade.
