Samu integrated into FC Porto's training

CNN Portugal7 September 2026 at 12:03

Samu was one of the main highlights in FC Porto's training on the eve of the clash with Manchester City. The Spanish striker progressed from conditional training to integrated conditional training, completing the initial exercises under the orders of Francesco Farioli.

This progression in Samu's training represents a positive sign for FC Porto, indicating that the player is recovering and getting closer to full availability to compete. His evolution to integrated training suggests he could be an option for the starting eleven or the bench in the game against the English side.

Francesco Farioli, who oversees the exercises, appears to be carefully managing the return of the Spanish striker after the conditional training period. The Porto team is thus preparing to face one of the main forces in European football.
