Francesco Farioli could hand João Costa his debut in FC Porto v Vitória SC | OneFootball

João Costa could be the big surprise for FC Porto in the match against Vitória SC, which is part of the quarter-finals of the League Cup. He returned to Dragão in the last transfer window, but has only played for the B team, where he has three matches without conceding a goal.

Diogo Costa is the regular starter for FC Porto and Cláudio Ramos is the backup, but João Costa may get an opportunity in Wednesday's match. The Portuguese goalkeeper is 29 years old and last season played for Feirense and Estrela da Amadora. His contract runs until 2030.

“I’m happy about this question because it’s rare to have three experienced goalkeepers, who are among the group’s leaders, players who set the standards very high. Unfortunately, you can’t see the way they train, but it’s something impressive. They are an incredible example for everyone, especially the younger ones… We’ll try to give everyone what they deserve. Unfortunately, only one goalkeeper can play and I’ll make my decision for tomorrow.”
