FC Porto is going through a complicated moment regarding the medical department. The first team coach cannot count on five players due to injuries, which has limited the available options for the team's upcoming challenges of the season.
Given this situation, Farioli decided to call Duarte Cunha to the first team's training. This call comes as a possible solution to address the absences in the squad, allowing the young player to demonstrate his abilities in training with the other members of the group.
The decision to promote Duarte Cunha to train with the first team comes at a time when FC Porto needs reinforcements for its pool of available players. The club is thus looking to find internal alternatives to deal with the injury problems that have been affecting the team.
