Alan Varela injury not serious, midfielder back in light training | OneFootball

The FC Porto squad completed their final training session this Saturday in preparation to host Estoril on Sunday at 8:30 PM, for the 12th round of the League.

Compared to Friday morning's session, Alan Varela's physical improvement was notable. The Argentine midfielder suffered a knee injury in the match against Nice on Thursday, and on the eve of the match against the canaries, he already participated in a conditioned integrated training session.

It's also worth remembering that, in the pre-match press conference, Francesco Farioli mentioned that "two or three players" will still be assessed to understand their actual availability to face Estoril. "After the game against Nice, we had two or three players with issues, and of course, we were a bit short in terms of options. It's always very difficult to recover, but the medical department is working hard for that. So, we will evaluate them this afternoon to see if they can play," assured the Italian coach.

As for the others, Nehuén Pérez continued with his treatment regimen and gym work. The Argentine defender still has several months of recovery ahead.
