Pepê left out of Porto squad for Alvalade | OneFootball

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

The Dragons’ number 11 underwent a minor surgical procedure on Monday, so the match against their rival, the Lions, comes while he is still in the recovery period. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should be available right after the break for international fixtures.

Pepê started the new season in good form, scoring in FC Porto’s first two matches, against V. Guimarães and Gil Vicente. After a season below expectations, the Brazilian international has shown positive signs and, as our newspaper previously reported, is expected to soon formalize a contract renewal with the blue and whites.
