Nehuén Pérez facing suspected Achilles tendon injury | OneFootball

In a statement, FC Porto provided more details about the injury that Nehuén Pérez suffered this Saturday during the match against Nacional at Estádio do Dragão. According to the blue and white club, the Argentine central defender may have suffered an Achilles tendon injury and will undergo tests "in the coming hours" to assess the severity of the injury that occurred in the 5th round of the championship.

Before this official note, in statements during the Sport TV flash interview at the end of the match, coach Francesco Farioli had already mentioned that there was concern about a serious injury. "Unfortunately, I think Nehuén Pérez will be out for some time. It seems serious to me, yes," the coach stated.

The central defender, it should be noted, was on the field for only four minutes, entering at the 56th minute and leaving at the 60th. After a collision with an opponent, he tried to sprint but immediately began limping on his right leg. On the pitch, with his teammates visibly worried, the player applied ice to the Achilles tendon area.

The FC Porto statement on Nehuén Pérez's injury against Nacional:

"Nehuén Pérez entered at the 55th minute of FC Porto's victory against CD Nacional (1-0), but had to leave the match in the fifth round of the League at the 60th minute with physical complaints and it is suspected that he has an Achilles tendon injury.

The player will undergo tests in the coming hours and the Club will communicate new information about the physical problem this Sunday," it reads.
