FC Porto issued a clarification about the injury suffered by Nigerian full-back Zaidu Sanusi during the match against Académico Viseu. The player was substituted at 17 minutes of play after presenting physical complaints during the game.
The Porto club informed through its official channels about the state of the left-back, who left the pitch due to the physical discomfort he felt during the friendly preparation match.
Zaidu, who has been a FC Porto player since 2020, has been an important piece in the Dragons' defensive sector. The early substitution during the preparation game now raises questions about his availability for the next commitments of the season.
Académico Viseu, a team that plays in lower divisions of Portuguese football, was the opponent chosen by FC Porto for this training game. Zaidu's injury may represent a setback for Sérgio Conceição, who may have to turn to alternatives at left-back for the upcoming challenges.
