Winger suffers injury, doubtful for Sporting v Porto clash | OneFootball

Pepê suffered an eye trauma with an ocular injury and will be out of Porto’s game this Sunday against Casa Pia, which counts for the third round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The Brazilian winger is now doubtful for the clash with Sporting in the following round.

"We announce that the player Pepê suffered an eye trauma with an ocular injury and will be out of the game against Casa Pia. We will provide an update on the player’s condition in the coming days," assured the communication department of the blue and white club. Samu is also not expected to be available for the Dragons against the Lions.

The Spanish player was diagnosed by the Dragons’ medical department with an “injury to the anterior part of the left thigh,” without specifying the recovery time for the 21-year-old forward. His return is expected only after three or four weeks of recovery.

Both of Francesco Farioli’s protégés will certainly miss the third round of the top tier of Portuguese football, played at Estádio do Dragão this Sunday, August 24, and scheduled for 6:00 p.m., against João Pereira’s Casa Pia.

The green and white club will thus return to the field next Saturday, August 30, against Porto. The match, counting for the fourth round of the National Championship, against the team led by the Italian coach, will be played at 8:30 p.m. at Alvalade.
