FC Porto lose Brayan Caicedo to serious knee injury | OneFootball

Misfortune continues at FC Porto. After it was confirmed that Luuk de Jong will be unable to return to the pitch this season, Brayan Caicedo, the B team’s striker, has also suffered a serious injury that will keep him out of competition.

The Colombian, who scored a “stunner” in the 2-4 victory over Leixões in Matosinhos, suffered a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The forward is being monitored by the medical department and will undergo surgery on a date yet to be determined.

This setback further complicates the club’s attacking options, at a time when Farioli had already lost De Jong for the rest of the season. Caicedo, who had been called up to the first team as a backup solution, is now unavailable.

In the medical report for the reserve team, João Moreira and Martim Cunha continue treatment and gym work, while João Teixeira is following a workload management plan.
