Samu joins FC Porto in England, stepping up pre-season integration | OneFootball

Samu will join the FC Porto delegation leaving this Monday for the pre-season training camp in England, despite still being on a restricted training programme.

The forward will travel with the rest of the squad at a stage 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 their 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 fixture, Samu was not an option precisely because he was on a restricted training programme.

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