Cardoso Varela joins FC Porto first-team training | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli received good news from the medical department in Thursday’s training session, another stage in FC Porto’s preparations for Sunday’s home match against Arouca, scheduled for 8:30 pm.

Alan Varela has already taken part in full team training, although with some limitations, and everything points to him being available for the third round of the league. Oskar Pietuszewski also showed improvement and returned to training, albeit on a limited basis, but is not expected to be an option against the Arouca side.

Cláudio Ramos, Vasco Sousa, André Miranda and Samu remain in limited training. Martim Fernandes, meanwhile, continues undergoing treatment and gym work. These are the remaining names listed in Porto’s medical report.

Farioli once again called up several players from the B team, but the main novelty of the session was the presence of Cardoso Varela in training with the first team squad. The 17-year-old winger returned to the Dragão after two years in Croatia, a period marked by the turbulence surrounding the process of his departure from FC Porto in 2024.

Also taking part in the morning session were B team players Luís Gomes, a defender, Tiago Silva, a midfielder, and forwards Tiago Andrade, Duarte Cunha and Eduardo Ferreira.

The national champions resume training on Saturday, again at the CTFD Jorge Costa.
