Spanish forward Samu joined the first exercises with FC Porto's training group, signaling an approach to his return to competition. This is positive news for the Porto side at a crucial moment of the season.
However, the training session was marked by five absentees, with several players unable to participate in the preparation session for the game against Manchester City. These absences represent a challenge for coach Sérgio Conceição in defining the starting eleven.
Defender Bednarek, despite having joined the session at Olival, is also a confirmed absentee for the match due to suspension. This situation limits the defensive options available for the clash with the English champions.
FC Porto is thus preparing for one of the most demanding games of the season, trying to recover important players while managing injuries and suspensions in the squad.
