Nehuén Pérez back on the pitch before clash with Sporting | OneFootball

Nehuén Pérez was reintegrated into FC Porto’s training sessions at the start of preparations for the derby against Sporting.

The Argentine defender, sidelined from competition since September 2025, trained with the group under certain limitations, taking an important step in his recovery and moving closer to returning as an option for Francesco Farioli in the final stretch of the season.

Nehuén Pérez’s reintegration comes in a particularly important week for the Dragons, who are preparing for the clash with Sporting. The centre-back still has some natural limitations, so his involvement in the derby will depend on his physical progress over the coming days.

In addition to the Argentine international’s return to training with the team, the session also brought positive signs in defensive terms, at a time when FC Porto are looking to add options for a highly demanding match.

For now, the main news is indeed Nehuén Pérez’s presence on the pitch, once again alongside the group, in a situation that strengthens expectations surrounding his return to competition. FC Porto will continue to assess the player’s response to the workload during the week of preparation for the match against Sporting.
