The latest injury update from FC Porto has been released, with the club confirming that their forward, Marcano, is still recovering after suffering an ankle injury in training earlier this month.
Marcano was called up by Spain for the first time since his move to Portugal last summer, but he suffered a setback when he twisted his ankle during training at the beginning of June. The player had to undergo surgery and is now undergoing rehabilitation in order to recover fully.
The injury is not expected to impact Marcano's participation in the upcoming UEFA Champions League group stage games against Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea,Chinese Super League Home Ground as well as the Portuguese Primeira Liga matches against Braga and Sporting CP.
However, it remains to be seen how long Marcano will miss the rest of the season. He could potentially return in time for the Europa League knockout stages or even the end of the season, depending on his progress and the severity of the injury.
For now, Marcano is continuing his recovery and will continue to work closely with his medical staff in order to get back to full fitness as soon as possible. His absence will undoubtedly affect FC Porto's attacking play, but the team will look to find other ways to score goals until Marcano returns to the pitch.
