After the scare, finally some good news for Rodrigo Mora | OneFootball

Good news for Rodrigo Mora. The radiological exam carried out today on the FC Porto midfielder ruled out the possibility of a muscle injury in his right thigh and, as such, the player is fit to face Nottingham Forest in the first leg of the quarter-finals next Thursday at the Dragão. The player suffered only a muscle spasm and came off as a precaution against Famalicão.

After a muscle injury in his left thigh that kept him out of the matches against SC Braga and the national team, the young Porto prodigy had another scare against Famalicão, but this setback does not put his presence at risk in one of the most important stages of the season.

Against Famalicão, Mora was in the starting lineup, but the expectation of seeing FC Porto’s young talent in action did not last long. Shortly after the goal that gave Porto a 1-0 lead, the player showed clear pain in his right thigh and immediately reached for the affected area. He still tried to carry on and stay on the pitch, but the discomfort worsened to the point that he had to be substituted before half-time, in a moment that left the Dragão fans worried. However, it was nothing more than a scare.

The situation immediately alarmed not only the fans, but also coach Francesco Farioli, who after the match did not hide his pessimism about recovering in time for the important Europa League clash against Nottingham Forest. “We have to assess it, but I think it will be difficult to recover,” he said, immediately casting doubt over Mora’s availability for this decisive match.
