Farioli gives extra time off to three key Dragons players | OneFootball

Jan Bednarek, Jakub Kiwior, and Victor Froholdt played on Sunday for their respective national teams – in the case of the two center-backs, for Poland, and the midfielder, for Denmark – and, under normal circumstances, would have returned to Olival on Tuesday after completing their international duties. However, Francesco Farioli chose to give the trio a day off.

The Polish center-backs and the Nordic midfielder have been key players in the Dragons’ coach’s system, which has resulted in a high accumulation of minutes. Furthermore, all three started in both matches their national teams played over the past week, so the Italian manager decided to rest them for an extra day, also allowing them to take care of personal matters.

The blue and whites are resting this Wednesday, with a return to training scheduled for Thursday morning. The match against Celoricense, for the 3rd round of the Portuguese Cup, is set for Sunday at 6:00 p.m. at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos.
