Away from Porto, Samu leaves rivals trailing in Spain | OneFootball

With the break for international commitments, FC Porto's coach, Francesco Farioli, faces several absences in the squad that condition the preparation for the third round of the Portuguese Cup, against Celoricense, from the Portuguese Championship.

Samu is serving the Spanish national team, current European champion and runner-up of the Nations League, and has been taking advantage of the training sessions to stand out in the finishing exercises.

The Dragons' forward won the competition, which included footballers such as Pino, Vivian, and Alejandro Grimaldo, ex-Benfica.

In the current season, Samu, 21 years old, has scored five goals in the championship, being the top scorer of the team that leads the standings.

The player is still looking for his first goal for the national team, despite already having two caps. In the qualification for the 2026 World Cup, Spain faces Georgia on November 11 and Bulgaria three days later.

La Roja leads Group E with six points, three more than Turkey and Georgia, represented by Sporting player Giorgi Kochorashvili. Bulgaria continues without points.
