FC Porto returned to training at the Jorge Costa Training and Formation Center, after a period of pause. The blue and white team is preparing to host Moreirense, a match scheduled for Friday at 8:15 PM at Estádio do Dragão, related to Liga Portugal.

Coach Sérgio Conceição did not have three players available for the return to work. Midfielder Mamadou Fofana, forward Samu and Polish goalkeeper Piotuszweski remain absent from collective training, thus not joining the group work.

The absence of these three players raises questions about their availability for the upcoming match. The club's medical department has not yet revealed the specific reasons or expected recovery time for each of the athletes.

With the match against Moreirense approaching, the coaching staff will need to find solutions within the available squad to address the absences and ensure the best possible preparation for this Liga Portugal challenge.
