Zaidu departs for Cairo this Sunday and is not included in Francesco Farioli's options for the match against Estrela da Amadora. The left-back has been called up by the Nigerian national team for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), and the Nigerian federation did not allow him to report later, contrary to FC Porto's request.
The Porto club wanted to keep Zaidu until the match against Famalicão, in the Portuguese Cup, scheduled for Thursday, but this was not possible; furthermore, the player will also not be available for the league match against Estrela.
It should be noted that the AFCON will take place in Morocco, from December 21 to January 18.
