Francisco Moura returns, could put Zaidu’s good run under threat

Francisco Moura had entered the bank in Barcelos with protection on his left knee; now, upon returning to FC Porto's training, he was deemed fit, rekindling the competition for the left-back position. Out since the pre-season stage, Moura missed the most demanding games and, in the official start, Farioli placed Martim Fernandes as the starter in the position, who also ended up suffering a fairly serious injury. In the encounter with Gil Vicente, Zaidu occupied the left-back position and even provided an assist – his second since arriving at FC Porto. With Moura available again, Farioli faces a tough decision.
