More news: Samu suffers right knee ligament injury | OneFootball

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

The injury forced him to be substituted at halftime, even though it occurred at the 45th minute, and he remained on the field during the seven minutes of first-half stoppage time. The Spanish forward risks having to interrupt his activity, with the recovery time depending on the exact severity of the injury.

There is still no confirmation of a complete ligament rupture, but the situation could be similar to the case of Luuk de Jong, who had a partial rupture and eventually opted for surgery.

The player, like Kiwior and Martim Fernandes, is undergoing medical examinations throughout this Tuesday; FC Porto is expected to comment tomorrow, Wednesday, on the players' medical status.
