FC Porto held another training session on Thursday morning as they continued preparations for Sunday’s match against Arouca at the Estádio do Dragão.
Francesco Farioli received two pieces of positive news, as Alan Varela and Oskar Pietuszewski both took another step forward in recovering from their respective injuries.
The Argentine midfielder has already returned to training with his teammates, albeit with some limitations. Everything therefore suggests he could be an option for the next match, in the 3rd round of the Liga Portugal Betclic.
As for the Polish winger, he returned to the pitch for restricted training work, so he is unlikely to be available for the clash with Arouca.
Cláudio Ramos (restricted training), Martim Fernandes (treatment and gym work), Vasco Sousa (restricted training), André Miranda (restricted training) and Samu (restricted training) complete the medical report.
Defender Luís Gomes, midfielder Tiago Silva, and forwards Tiago Andrade, Duarte Cunha, Cardoso Varela and Eduardo Ferreira, all from the B team, also took part in the first-team training session.
