Bednarek and Borja Sainz join FC Porto's growing injury list | OneFootball

FC Porto returned from Famalicão with a victory (1-0), but also with new problems in the medical department. Jan Bednarek and Borja Sainz are the latest absences confirmed by the club after the 11th round of the Primeira Liga.

The Polish center-back left the pitch in the 19th minute due to physical problems and, according to the Dragons’ medical report, is experiencing “discomfort in his left knee.” The club adds that the situation will be assessed in detail “in the coming hours.”

Borja Sainz, who was once again an option off the bench for the second consecutive match, is suffering from “discomfort in his right ankle,” an injury that has persisted since the 1-1 draw with Utrecht in the Europa League.

In addition to Bednarek and Sainz, FC Porto’s medical statement also mentions Luuk de Jong, who is training with restrictions, and Nehuén Pérez, who is recovering from a complete rupture of the Achilles tendon, which is expected to keep him sidelined for a long period.

The Dragons return to competition on November 22, hosting Sintrense, from the Campeonato de Portugal, in the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup.
