Samu undergoes successful surgery, set to return to Olival on Monday | OneFootball

Successfully operated on for the ligament injury in his right knee, Samu will remain in Spain for a few more days. His return to CTFD Jorge Costa, in Olival, is scheduled for Monday, the day after the match between FC Porto and Rio Ave, related to the 23rd round of the championship.

Until then, the 21-year-old forward, operated on by the renowned surgeon Manuel Leyes, will be accompanied by Rúben Silva, the physiotherapist of the blue and white team, who will assist the No. 9 at the start of his rehabilitation – a process that is expected to extend, in principle, until the start of the next season.

Yesterday, Samu's name appeared in the medical bulletin under post-operative surveillance. Upon returning to the Porto headquarters, the young attacker will join Luuk de Jong, although the Dutchman is already in a more advanced stage of rehabilitation.

Before the injury sustained in the classic against Sporting on the 9th, Samu had scored 20 goals in 32 games for FC Porto in the 2025/26 season. He will also miss this year's World Cup.
