Samu called up and goes straight into FC Porto’s starting eleven | OneFootball

It was Francesco Farioli himself who announced the recovery and call-up of Samu for the classic match, praising the dedicated way the Spanish player worked against the clock to be in Alvalade.

"He will be in the game and I have to congratulate him for the effort and the work he did. It was 12 hours a day, with all the treatments and all the work he could do. This says a lot about his commitment to the club and he deserves to be in tomorrow's [today's] game. I also want to thank the Health Department for the way they treated him here at Olival and even at home. Everyone's effort was fantastic and he will be in the squad," said the Italian.

The young striker returns to the chosen ones after missing the reception to Casa Pia and is expected to be in the starting eleven against Sporting.

Pablo Rosario, highly esteemed by Farioli, also traveled to Lisbon.

"He just started, but he will travel with us to Lisbon. He is a player I know very well, I worked with him for a season. He is a soldier, he can play in three or four positions on the field. He is a great person, has a great personality, is a great teammate and a very good player," highlighted the coach, who knows the midfielder from the times they worked together at Nice.

Regarding Rosario, he was called up for the match of the Dominican Republic national team against Jordan, on September 9. Bednarek and Kiwior were called up by the Poland national team, while Deniz Gül will represent Turkey.
