Vasco Sousa spent Christmas in hospital | OneFootball

Vasco Sousa spent Christmas hospitalized. The midfielder, on loan from FC Porto to Moreirense, underwent surgery on December 15 at CUF Hospital and received close support from the medical department of the Dragons, the club that holds his contract until 2030.

The young midfielder was operated on after fracturing the fibula in his right leg during the defeat against Benfica in Moreira de Cónegos, for the League.

«It's not the Christmas we imagined. Difficult, intense, spent where we least wanted. But even here, the most important thing was never missing: being by each other's side. Let this be a reminder to never take anything for granted. Appreciate where you are tonight, who you are with, and what you have on the table. Merry Christmas to all. A tight hug to those who tonight are not where they would like to be, with whom they would like to be, and to those who miss a place that is empty at the table today. May love reach you, nonetheless,» wrote Joana Guise, Vasco Sousa's girlfriend.

At Moreirense – which holds a purchase option for the transfer set at 8 million euros – Vasco Sousa participated in nine matches and scored one goal.

Against Alverca, FC Porto players dedicated the first goal to Vasco Sousa.
