FC Porto's Latest Injury Update: Omorodion Out for Two Weeks
FC Porto has suffered another injury blow, with Brazilian forward Fernandinho Alves (aka Fernandinho) ruled out for two weeks after suffering a knee ligament tear in training on Monday.
The news comes just days after Portugal international winger Joao Moutinho was also forced to withdraw from the team due to a hamstring strain sustained during training earlier this week.
Fernandinho and Moutinho were both expected to feature heavily in the Portuguese club's upcoming matches against Sporting CP and Benfica, but their absence will undoubtedly be a significant setback for manager Nuno Espirito Santo and his side.
In addition to these two key players, several other players have been struggling with injuries throughout the season, including defenders Raul Almeida and João Cancelo, who have both missed time through illness or injury.
Despite this, FC Porto remain in contention for the title, sitting second behind arch-rivals Real Madrid in the league table. However, any further setbacks could potentially derail their hopes of securing a top-four finish and qualification for next year's Champions League.
Overall, it seems that FC Porto is currently facing a tough period as they look to maintain their momentum and push towards the top of the league. With so many key players missing, it remains to be seen how they will cope in their upcoming fixtures.
