More news: Samu suffers right knee cruciate ligament injury | OneFootball

Negative news for FC Porto. Samu suffered a ligament injury in his right knee during the match against Sporting on Monday.

The injury forced his substitution at halftime, despite occurring at the 45′ mark, as he remained on the field during the seven minutes of added time in the first half. The Spanish forward risks having to interrupt his activity, with the recovery time depending on the specific severity of the injury.

There is still no confirmation of a complete ligament tear, but the situation could resemble the case of Luuk de Jong, who had a partial tear and eventually opted for surgical intervention.

The player, like Kiwior and Martim Fernandes, is undergoing medical examinations throughout this Tuesday; FC Porto is expected to make a statement tomorrow, Wednesday, regarding the players' medical condition.
