Samu and Pepê missing as main absentees in build-up to Sporting clash

FC Porto continues preparations for the classic match of the 4th round of the League against Sporting, scheduled for Saturday at 8:30 PM in Alvalade. This Wednesday, the Dragons trained at Olival with some absences that continue to worry Francesco Farioli.

The team’s medical report includes Samu and Pepê, both recovering from physical problems. The forward is still undergoing treatment for a minor muscle tear suffered against Gil Vicente, while the Brazilian winger only did gym work after undergoing a minor procedure on his right eye on Monday, leaving his participation in the trip to Lisbon in doubt.
