Eustáquio returns to Olival to recover from a muscle injury | OneFootball

Stephen Eustáquio took advantage of the break for international fixtures to return to Portugal and travel to Olival, where he was assessed by FC Porto’s medical department following the injury that has kept him out of competition since the second week of March. The Canada international suffered a muscle problem in his leg after an accidental collision with a referee. Even so, the situation worsened during the rehabilitation period.

“As part of his recovery protocols, he underwent a deep tissue massage and, in that process, ended up reopening the injured area, which caused a hematoma,” explained Canada head coach Jesse Marsch, when asked about the injury to one of the Canadian national team’s captains.

Loaned by FC Porto until the end of June, with a purchase option set at $7.25 million, Eustáquio made a very positive start at Los Angeles FC, recording one goal and one assist in five matches. As soon as he gets the green light, the midfielder will return to training with Los Angeles FC.
