After 2 months out, Zaidu Sanusi plays full 90 minutes for FC Porto

Zaidu Sanusi once again earned the trust of Francesco Farioli and returned to the starting lineup for FC Porto in the match against Nacional da Madeira, played this Sunday. The left-back hadn't worn the blue and white jersey since December 4, 2025, against Vitória SC.

That League Cup quarter-final clash was also the last time Zaidu Sanusi was a starter and played the full 90 minutes. In January, he added more minutes while playing for the Nigerian national team in the Africa Cup of Nations.
