Pepê left out of Porto squad for Alvalade | OneFootball

As A BOLA reported, Pepê is a confirmed absence from FC Porto's call-up list for the Alvalade classic, this Saturday at 8:30 pm, against Sporting. The winger was not considered medically fit after his right eye injury was reassessed midweek.

The number 11 of the dragons underwent a minor surgical procedure on Monday, so the match with the lion rival comes during the recovery period. Unless unforeseen circumstances occur, he should be available right after the break for national team commitments.

Pepê started the new season on a good note, scoring goals in the first two matches of FC Porto, against V. Guimarães and Gil Vicente. After a season below expectations, the Brazilian international has shown positive signs and, as our newspaper reported, he will soon formalize the renewal of his contract with the blues and whites.
