Sergio Conceicao has given the team four days off (ending next Tuesday), but there are those who continue to travel to Olival daily. Spaniard Nico Gonzalez is undergoing treatment to recover for the league match against Porto in Estoril (30/03).
Released from the Spain U21 squad due to physical problems, the midfielder returned to Porto and immediately placed himself under the supervision of Porto’s medical department. After a difficult start to the season, the midfielder became indispensable for Conceição, forming a midfield duo with Alan Varela.
Nico, 22, doesn’t want injury to hamper his establishment process in the team, so he’s not making it easy. He is undergoing treatment and working out in the gym. The player arrived at Porto last summer from Barcelona. At that time, SAD Porto paid 8.4 million euros, and the Spanish emblem could be purchased for 30 million. Of the 28 games he has played so far, he has started 17. He has scored one goal and provided two assists.
Those who also don’t have a vacation are Zaidu and Marcano. Both are recovering from surgeries that corrected the serious injuries they suffered. They are in a long recovery process and should only return to competition next season.
