André Villas-Boas indicated September as the estimated timeframe for Samu's return to competition.

The FC Porto president provided an update on the player's condition, stating that the recovery is still ongoing and that the intention is to have him available again at the start of the new phase of the season.

By pointing to September, Samu's return comes at a significant point in the sporting calendar, when FC Porto is expected to already be involved in the first official demands of the season. For that reason, the player's physical management should be handled carefully, to ensure that the return happens under ideal conditions.

Samu therefore remains in recovery, with the club planning for his return after the summer. Until then, the player's progress will be monitored internally, without rushing any stages of the process.
