Farioli goes with his strongest side: likely Porto XI for trip to Famalicão | OneFootball

FC Porto concludes another demanding cycle of matches today, mostly away games, which required Farioli to manage the effort in Utrecht. In Famalicão, there will be a change in the team with the return of six players rested in the Europa League (some of whom came on): Alberto Costa, Kiwior, Moura, Alan Varela, Froholdt, and Samu.

This group is joined by Diogo Costa, Bednarek, Gabri Veiga, Pepê, and Borja Sainz. The only doubt concerns one of the wingers: Pepê had a discreet performance in the Netherlands, and William Gomes might be an option.

As for the remaining options, João Costa, Pedro Lima, and Yann Karamoh played yesterday for the B team and will not be called up, just like Tomás Costa, although he did not travel to Chaves. Nehuén Pérez (treatment and gym work) and Luuk de Jong (restricted training) are confirmed absences. The squad is expected to have a brief training session this morning at the Dragão. With just over 70 hours between the matches in Utrecht and Famalicão, Farioli wants to make the most of the available time to prepare the team.

Probable lineup for Famalicão: Carevic; Rodrigo Pinheiro, Léo Realpe, Ibrahima Ba, and Pedro Bondo; Mathias de Amorim and Tom van de Looi; Sorriso, Gustavo Sá, and Joujou; Elisor.
