FC Porto coach Farioli confirmed that Giménez and Souza were included in the squad for the home game against Moreirense. This will be the first opportunity for the two new signings to present themselves to the Porto fans after their signings. The inclusion of the two players was seen as a boost for the team that is looking to recover positive results.
However, not all the news was positive. Gabriel Mec was left out of the squad due to bureaucratic issues, as the coach explained. Farioli did not specify which administrative obstacles were involved, limiting himself to classifying the situation as a matter of bureaucratic nature that made it impossible to register the player in time.
Moreirense, FC Porto's opponent in this match, is referred to as the "cónegos", in reference to the nickname of the Minho team. The game represents an opportunity for FC Porto to return to good results after a less positive period in the competition. Farioli will now have to integrate the new players into his strategy for this encounter.
