Porto’s starting eleven against Alverca
Coach Francesco Farioli will be without suspended defender Jan Bednarek, who is missing from the team for the first time in the championship. The absence leaves an alert on, as the defender is one of the captains and a reference in the defensive sector.
For Bednarek’s position, Farioli indicated in an interview that Prpic and Pablo Rosario are the options. The coach also reassured fans about the physical condition of the squad and confirmed that Francisco Moura, who left with a physical problem last Thursday (12/18), when Porto beat Famalicão 4-1 in the round of 16 of the Portuguese Cup, has been training with the squad without limitations.
Nehuén Pérez and Luuk de Jong remain out of the squad, undergoing treatment after injuries.
Porto arrives motivated and confident, but the coach warned about the opponent’s style, highlighting Alverca’s physical strength, good offensive performance and the high number of aerial duels won by the Ribatejo team.
Porto’s probable starting eleven: Diogo Costa; Alberto Costa, Prpic (Pablo Rosario), Kiwior, Francisco Moura; Varela, Froholdt, Mora; Pepê, Sainz and Aghehowa. Coach: Francesco Farioli.
