The forward suffered a trauma to his right leg, but has recovered and can face Moreirense. The central defender tries to be fit for Benfica

The complaints with which Taremi ended the game against V. Guimarães will not prevent him from signing on Sunday, with Moreirense, at Estádio do Dragão. The forward suffered a trauma to his right leg against the Vimaranense, but the result of the reassessment carried out yesterday did not indicate anything relevant, so it was not even mentioned in the FC Porto clinical report, released after the morning training.

Pepe, for his part, is unlikely to be able to face Moreira de Cónegos’ team, as he has a contracture in the soleus of his right leg, at a time when the FC Porto calendar in the first weeks of 2021 is very tight, with matches ahead Moreirense (day 3), Famalicão (8) and Nacional (12), this one for the Portuguese Cup. The goal of the blue and white captain is now to be one hundred percent operational on January 15, a classic day with Benfica, in Dragão, this time counting for the championship.

If Pepe’s absence causes Sérgio Conceição some headaches in the formation of the central couple, Taremi’s availability is undoubtedly good news. The Iranian is experiencing the best moment since he arrived in Dragão and thus the Porto coach will be able to keep him alongside Marega in the attack. A company that has been working well in recent games and that has also contributed to FC Porto’s good campaign this season. The influence of the striker hired from Rio Ave was also well marked in the last five games in which he started. After scoring in both matches with Tondela (one in the 4-3 championship win and one in the 2-1 Portuguese Cup win), Taremi scored twice in Guimarães and helped the team win by 3 – two. In the middle he also signed an assist for Marega in the 2-0 victory against Nacional, and suffered the penalty that would mean the first goal. In the Super Cup, Cândido de Oliveira, against Benfica, also suffered a foul that resulted in a penalty converted by Sérgio Oliveira.
