Luuk de Jong nearing full fitness, could return against Sintrense | OneFootball

Luuk de Jong is nearing a return to Francesco Farioli's options at FC Porto. This Thursday, the forward progressed to a conditioned training session on the pitch, indicating a positive recovery.

The player, who suffered a sprain with an internal lateral ligament injury in his left knee during a training match against Lusitânia de Lourosa, has been undergoing his recovery.

According to the newspaper 'O Jogo', the return could happen by the end of this November, making it possible for him to play a few minutes against Sintrense in the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup on November 22.

The matches against SC Braga and Famalicão remain out of the question for the Dutchman, but the upcoming international break will provide additional time for a full recovery.

De Jong has been sidelined for almost two months, undergoing treatment and gym work, and has missed nine matches for the Dragons so far.
