Diogo Rêma suffers serious injury, set to miss 6 to 8 months | OneFootball

This is a severe setback for FC Porto – in the remaining challenges of the championship, in the European League, and in the Portuguese Cup – and also for the National Team, already thinking about the 2026 European Championship.

Diogo Rêma, the Dragons' goalkeeper, suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the classic match against Sporting and will remain inactive for an estimated recovery period of six to eight months.

The goalkeeper complained just 6 minutes into the game, returned to the field, but ended up worsening the injury and was carried off on shoulders.

With Diogo Rêma's absence, the National Team sees its options for the goal reduced in the European Championship, where Rêma himself and Gustavo Capdeville, from Benfica, had been key players.

Miguel Espinha, goalkeeper for the Macedonian team Vardar, emerges as the most likely candidate to succeed Rêma, followed by Diogo Valério, from Olympiacos, and Pedro Tonicher, from Cuenca.

Also at risk of missing the tournament, which will take place in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway between January 15 and February 1, is the center Miguel Martins, from Dinamo Bucharest.

The international player is still recovering from a serious injury and may not be fit in time to be included in the final call-up by coach Paulo Pereira, which is expected to be announced next week.
