Samu back on the grass with a ball, positive sign for FC Porto | OneFootball

Samu took another step in recovering from the serious injury to his right knee and has already completed his first exercises with the ball on the pitch at the Jorge Costa Training and Sports Development Centre.

The Spanish striker has been working in a very controlled manner and always apart from the group, following the individual plan set out by Porto’s structure. The introduction of the ball at this stage reflects progress in the rehabilitation process, although it does not yet point to an imminent return to competition.

Samu's recovery has been ongoing since February, when he suffered the injury in the clássico against Sporting. The problem in his right knee required surgery and has kept the player off the pitch ever since.

At this stage, the work remains restricted and is being monitored with caution, with the aim of ensuring a steady recovery without rushing the process. Contact with the ball therefore comes as another stage completed in what has been a long journey.

At FC Porto, led by Francesco Farioli, the striker’s situation continues to be managed carefully, with no changes to the plan laid out for his gradual return. For now, the outlook remains one of controlled progress, with Samu continuing to show positive signs in his recovery.
