PS MP concerned over Pote’s injury in Santa Clara v Sporting | OneFootball

Pedro Gonçalves left the Santa Clara - Sporting match injured and is dealing with an injury to the back of his thigh. Mariana Vieira da Silva, PS deputy, made a post on her social networks, expressing her concern about the player’s physical problem.

“I really want to know how Pote is doing,” she wrote on the social network ‘X’. The player is expected to be out for three to four weeks due to the muscle injury that forced him to leave the pitch in the 57th minute at Estádio São Miguel, in Ponta Delgada, Azores, after scoring the equalizer in the 32nd minute of the match.

The player, who had been called up by Roberto Martínez for Portugal’s matches against Ireland and Armenia, will be released from the national team. The forecast is for his return to the pitch at the beginning of December, leaving his participation in doubt for the derby against Benfica, scheduled for December 5 at Estádio da Luz.

A win in Dublin will immediately guarantee the national team qualification for the 2026 World Cup, the ninth in its history and the seventh in a row, but a draw may be enough if Hungary does not win in Armenia. The training camp starts on Monday, with a training session scheduled at Cidade do Futebol at 5:00 pm.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Pedro Gonçalves - valued at 30 million euros - has already played 17 matches: 11 in Liga Portugal, four in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. During the 1,394 minutes he has played, the ‘number 8’ of the Lions has already scored nine goals and provided six assists.
