Diogo Costa has a fever, misses Porto training ahead of Rangers clash | OneFootball

FC Porto held their final rehearsal this Wednesday before the match against Rangers, in the last round of the Europa League group stage, but Diogo Costa was absent from training.

The 26-year-old goalkeeper is suffering from a fever syndrome and is doubtful for the game against the Scots, in which FC Porto will try to secure a place among the top eight and direct access to the round of 16. There is, however, hope for a recovery in time for the match.

Francesco Farioli included three young players from the B team in this training session: defender Gabriel Brás, midfielder João Teixeira, and forward André Miranda. The session also had a light-hearted moment when William Gomes and Martim Fernandes went to the tunnel after scoring against Gil Vicente in the 3-0 victory in the 19th round of the league.

Nehuén Pérez and Luuk de Jong remain absent as they continue to recover from long-term injuries.

Tiago Madureira, vice-president of FC Porto, was present at the session. Farioli will preview the match against Rangers in a press conference starting at 12:45 pm.
