Pepê left out of Porto squad for Alvalade trip | OneFootball

As A BOLA reported, Pepê is a confirmed absence from FC Porto’s squad list for the classic at Alvalade, this Saturday at 8:30 pm, against Sporting. The winger was not deemed medically fit after his right eye injury was re-evaluated midweek.

The number 11 for the Dragons underwent a minor surgical procedure on Monday, so the match against their rival, the Lions, comes while he is still in the recovery period. Barring unforeseen circumstances, he should be available right after the international break.

Pepê started the new season in good form, scoring in FC Porto’s first two matches, against V. Guimarães and Gil Vicente. After a season below expectations, the Brazilian international has shown positive signs and, as our newspaper previously reported, he is expected to soon formalize his contract renewal with the blue and whites.
