Samu heads to England with FC Porto, steps up pre-season integration | OneFootball

Samu will join the FC Porto delegation travelling to England this Monday for their pre-season training camp, despite still following a restricted training programme.

The striker will travel with the rest of the squad at a time when the blue-and-whites are looking to build competitive sharpness and consolidate their working methods under the guidance of Francesco Farioli. The national champions had Sunday off before the trip scheduled for Monday afternoon.

The training camp in England will take place in Burton upon Trent and will run until 18 July. The trip comes after the first warm-up match of the new season, in which FC Porto drew with Hibernian. In that pre-season match, Samu was not an option, precisely because he was on a restricted training schedule.

Even so, the player’s presence on the trip is a sign of continuity in his recovery process and of his gradual integration into the group during this stage of preparation. FC Porto intend to use the coming days in England to increase the training load and prepare for the next pre-season fixtures.
