Farioli gives Porto non-internationals time off, no homework on mini-break | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli has given Porto’s non-internationals five and a half days off after the win in Braga, instructing them to relax and switch off for physical and mental recovery at the end of March 2026.

According to O Jogo, he did not issue any individual training plans during the mini-break, only a reminder to maintain the habits expected of elite professionals.

Many players used the time to travel with their families. The squad reconvenes tomorrow at Olival to begin preparing for Famalicão, still without those away on international duty.

On their return, routine checks await, with a strict weigh-in followed by skinfold measurements to estimate body fat and ensure nothing was overdone.

April already contains seven fixtures and could become eight if Porto advance in the Europa League.
