Alan Varela was sent off in the match between FC Porto and Sporting, in the second leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals, and will miss the dragons’ game against Estrela da Amadora, a match in the 31st round of the Primeira Liga. According to Record, there is already a name lined up to take his place in the starting eleven.
Pablo Rosario has emerged as the main candidate to replace the blue-and-whites’ defensive midfielder in Reboleira. The Dominican, unlike the Argentine, started against the lions and is expected to keep his place in the team. In the last Primeira Liga match, it was Alan Varela who was included in Francesco Farioli’s plans.
Pablo Rosario arrived at the Dragão this season and has established himself as an important player for FC Porto. He has made 38 appearances, scoring two goals and providing one assist.
