THE BALL – Diogo Costa ahead of Cláudio Ramos to deliver Marchesín (FC Porto)

If Marchesín does not recover in time to be one hundred percent in FC Porto’s goal against Marítimo, Diogo Costa should be the alternative for Sérgio Conceição’s eleven. The youth of the formation, for whom the club members and SAD foresee a bright future, is the number one option if the usual starter fails due to injury in the next official commitment of the blue and white shield.

Curiously, Diogo Costa finished last season as a starter, a way of winning routines with the defense ahead of the grand final of the Portuguese Cup, which FC Porto beat (2-1) against Benfica. The under-21 international from Portugal and champion of the Youth League (2018/2019) has, therefore, the responsibility of being called up to the starting eleven, something that has not happened since that match with the Eagles.

Cláudio Ramos, for his part, arrived at Dragão at zero cost, from Tondela, but during the preseason he contracted myalgia in his right thigh, a problem that prevented him from the first official matches of FC Porto, specifically in the league debut, at home , in front of SC Braga, and then on the short trip to Bessa. For this reason, it still appears in the clinical bulletin, since it remains in an “integrated conditioned training” regime.
