Santiago Gimenez seeks debut in FC Porto's call-ups: physical response under evaluation

Record3 September 2026 at 06:52

Santiago Gimenez is seeking his debut in FC Porto's squad call-ups, after being called up for the first time to join the main group of the team. The Mexican forward, who arrived at the Porto club from Cruz Azul, is now awaiting the opportunity to demonstrate his value in competition.

The player is considered fit to join the team's work, which means he presents no injuries or medical issues that prevent him from participating in training and matches. However, his physical condition to compete at the highest level immediately still requires confirmation from the club's medical and technical staff.

This assessment is related to the fact that Gimenez has not yet accumulated competition minutes this season, as he did not participate in official matches for Cruz Azul before heading to FC Porto. The Porto technical staff therefore need to assess whether the Mexican is in full physical condition to face the competitive challenges ahead.

Gimenez's situation arises at a time of great expectation around the young forward, who is seen as an important piece for the attack of the team coached by Vítor Bruno. The decision regarding his direct usage will depend on the results of this physical evaluation currently underway at FC Porto.
