Bednarek and Borja Sainz join FC Porto’s growing injury list | OneFootball

FC Porto returned from Famalicão with a victory (1-0), but also with new issues in the medical department. Jan Bednarek and Borja Sainz are the latest absences confirmed by the club after the 11th round of the Primeira Liga.

The Polish center-back left the field at 19 minutes due to physical problems and, according to the Dragons' medical report, he is experiencing "discomfort in the left knee." The club states that the situation will be evaluated in detail "in the coming hours."

Borja Sainz, who was again an option from the bench for the second consecutive game, suffers from "discomfort in the right ankle," an injury that has persisted since the draw (1-1) with Utrecht in the Europa League.

In addition to Bednarek and Sainz, FC Porto's medical statement also mentions Luuk de Jong, who is training in a limited capacity, and Nehuén Pérez, who is recovering from a complete rupture of the Achilles tendon, which is expected to keep him out for a long period.

The Dragons return to competitions on November 22, hosting Sintrense from the Campeonato de Portugal in the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup.
