Samu back on the grass at Olival, clear sign return is near | OneFootball

Samu took an important step in his recovery by completing, for the first time, a modified training session after the serious injury he suffered on 9 February.

The striker returned to the pitch in a controlled manner, which is an encouraging sign in his clinical progress after several months out. The session was carried out cautiously, within the plan outlined for the player’s recovery, as he continues to do specific work before a future full return to team training.

The return to on-field exercises marks a new phase for Samu, who has been out of competition since the physical problem he suffered at the beginning of February. At this stage, the focus is on regaining rhythm, fitness and confidence, always in a gradual manner.

At the start of FC Porto’s pre-season, Samu was part of the group of players under the care of the medical department, along with Vasco Sousa. The progress now recorded opens up good prospects for the coming weeks, although there is still no set timetable for his return to competition.

At Olival, the moment was experienced with enthusiasm, in a context where FC Porto continue their preparations for the new season under the command of Francesco Farioli. Samu’s presence on the pitch, even under modified conditions, was one of the positive notes of the day.
