FC Porto are back in action, tomorrow afternoon, at Olival, but not all players will be able to enjoy a short competitive break that comes at a very sensitive time for the Blues and the Whites, in terms of sport.

The draw against Estoril, in response to the 4-0 defeat imposed on Dragau by Club Brugge, left the Blue and White universe in deep pain and disappointment spilling over to the team, which was naturally aiming to deliver victory to the crowd, even to calm some moods.

All this will be the subject of conversation in the locker room between Sérgio Conceição and the team. However, the suspension of the national team’s matches caused the displacement of eight players, six of whom started: Diogo Costa, Pepe, Ustaccio, Uribe, Zido and Taremi. Rodrigo Conceicao, a surprise 11 start for FC Porto in Amorera, and Vasco Sousa, a midfielder who played in the second team but is part of the main universe team, were called up for the under-21 friendly match against Georgia, on the 24th, in Covilha.

The most sensitive cases are the axial duo usually used by the coach, Eustachio and Oribe, especially the Colombian. Uribe travels to the US, where Colombia faces Guatemala (dawn 25) and Mexico (dawn 27), throwing him in a very tired air marathon to be ready to receive SC Braga, at 30, at Dragon Stadium. Eustaquio plays in Qatar and has his last game on 27, against Croatia, but must travel the same day to Porto.
