Away from FC Porto, Samu leaves rivals trailing in Spain | OneFootball

With the break for international commitments, FC Porto’s coach, Francesco Farioli, faces several absences in the squad that affect preparations for the third round of the Portuguese Cup, against Celoricense, from the Campeonato de Portugal.

Samu is on duty with the Spanish national team, current European champions and runners-up in the Nations League, and has been making the most of training sessions to stand out in finishing drills.

The Dragons’ forward won the competition, which included players such as Pino, Vivian, and Alejandro Grimaldo, formerly of Benfica.

This season, Samu, 21 years old, has scored five goals in the league, making him the team’s top scorer and helping them lead the standings.

The player is still seeking his first goal for the national team, despite already having two caps. In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Spain faces Georgia on November 11 and Bulgaria three days later.

La Roja leads Group E with six points, three more than Turkey and Georgia, which is represented by Sporting player Giorgi Kochorashvili. Bulgaria remains without any points.
