Good news: Bednarek avoids serious rib injury after Suárez clash | OneFootball

Good news for FC Porto. Jan Bednarek, who had to leave the match against Sporting at Alvalade (0-1) before halftime—diagnosed with a rib cage contusion—underwent further tests this Thursday, which ruled out a more serious injury.

The Polish defender shows no fractures or cracks in his ribs, but remains doubtful for the classic against Benfica, scheduled for Sunday in the 25th round of the League, at Estádio da Luz.

His participation in the next match for the Dragons will depend on how the pain evolves; if he does not recover in time, Tiago Tomás should be an option for the first leg of the Europa League round of 16, in Stuttgart.

Meanwhile, Thiago Silva remains on standby and ready to join the starting eleven if necessary. The experienced Brazilian center-back did not play at Alvalade nor in the previous two rounds against Arouca and Rio Ave, but is now at a more advanced stage of recovery and has completed a partially integrated training session. In the second half at Alvalade, Kiwior partnered with Rosario, while Farioli had Prpic on the bench.
