Good news: Rodrigo Mora should be fit for FC Porto-Famalicão | OneFootball

FC Porto continued training alongside the B team, looking to make up for the absences caused by international duty and physical issues affecting both squads. As was the case on Saturday, under-19 defender Filipe Sousa and under-17 midfielder João Brito and forward Tcherno Jamanca were involved in the session led by Francesco Farioli and João Brandão, in coordination between age groups that has already been repeated several times throughout the season.

In addition to the long-term injuries to Samu, Luuk de Jong and Nehuén Pérez, Diogo Costa and Rodrigo Mora remain under treatment, both with muscle complaints: the goalkeeper in the adductors, due to compensations linked to the dorsolumbar pain that affected him in the final week before the break; the midfielder in his left thigh.

The injuries are not causing concern, and the recovery outlook for Mora, pushed forward by Farioli, should not, in principle, rule him out of Saturday’s home match against Famalicão, although the coach is preparing alternatives. First of all because Gabri Veiga’s absence is certain, as he completed a run of five yellow cards in Braga. Rodrigo is the natural replacement for the Galician and, if his recovery takes longer than expected, Seko Fofana, away with Ivory Coast, or Pablo Rosario, a Dominican Republic international, could be options. With Nottingham’s visit scheduled only for April 8, squad management becomes simpler.
