FC Porto’s likely line-up against Rangers | OneFootball

Diogo Costa had a fever and missed yesterday's training; his presence in tonight's match depends on his condition in the coming hours. The captain is on medication and it will only be known this afternoon if he is fit to play; otherwise, Cláudio Ramos will take the goal, potentially making his European competition debut at 34 years old.

Usually the backup for number 99, the player from Beira has 37 matches for FC Porto, mostly in cup competitions, having been a starter in the Club World Cup at the end of last season, with standout performances. The coaching staff has full confidence in Cláudio Ramos if he has to take the position in a crucial match for direct qualification.

Meanwhile, Francesco Farioli will make changes to the team, especially because Thiago Silva cannot play in European competitions. Kiwior returns to the center of defense and Moura will take the left flank. Rodrigo Mora has been confirmed in the starting eleven, relegating Gabri Veiga to the bench. In attack, William "threatens" Borja Sainz's spot. As for the squad, the two winter signings – Thiago and Oskar – are left out, while Zaidu, Gabriel Brás, André Teixeira, and André Miranda are included in the list.
