Estrela da Amadora lose key man for FC Porto visit | OneFootball

Bernardo Schappo has been confirmed as unavailable for Estrela da Amadora’s home match against FC Porto, in the 31st round of the League. The 27-year-old centre-back will miss the game against the Dragons due to muscle problems.

Schappo was reassessed by the Tricolours’ medical department after coming off in the 23rd minute of Sunday’s away match at Arouca. The confirmed injury therefore rules out one of Estrela’s main defensive pillars this season.

João Nuno is therefore forced to make changes to the defensive line. In Arouca, Luan Patrick came on precisely to replace Schappo.

The Brazilian centre-back started 24 of the 30 league matches already played by Estrela in this season’s edition. Only goalkeeper Renan Ribeiro, with 2,700 minutes, has played more than Schappo, who has recorded 2,504 this season.
