Pepê awaits crucial scan to learn if he’ll feature in Saturday’s derby | OneFootball

Pepê remains uncertain for Saturday's derby between Sporting and FC Porto. According to the portal 'Maisfutebol', the Brazilian winger underwent a post-operative examination this Tuesday following a trauma to one of his eyes, which prevented him from playing against Casa Pia.

The same source reports that the results will be known this Wednesday, at which point it will be determined whether the player will be an option for Farioli at Alvalade.

If deemed unfit, it is likely that Pepê will give up his spot to fellow countryman William Gomes, who stood out against Casa Pia and scored one of the goals for Porto.

Like Pepê, Samu is also a question mark for the match against the national champions. The Spanish forward suffered a grade one muscle tear in his left thigh and, according to 'Maisfutebol', sought a private physiotherapist to try to speed up his recovery.
