Complicated life for Petit at Belenenses SAD. Despite the much suffered victory with Berço for the Cup of Portugal – the blues won 2-1 in extra time – the coach now runs the risk of losing three important assets to travel to Bessa: Rafael Camacho, Tomás Ribeiro and Pedro Nuno.
More delicate situation, however, for the winger, who was substituted shortly after half an hour of play due to an injury to his right thigh. After carrying out complementary exams, there is a suspicion of rupture, which, if confirmed – the seriousness of the problem is known today – will force him to stop for two or three weeks.
Bad luck also knocked on the door of Tomás Ribeiro, central and one of the references in the defensive sector. The defender, after a violent clash with Jota, also left the pitch during the first half, was sutured with seven stitches and yesterday performed a TAC to determine whether or not he suffered a concussion. If this scenario is confirmed, its absence in the important match against Boavista is also certain.
Finally, Pedro Nuno. The striker, after a tough entry from Joyce – he was eventually ordered to send off – suffered a trauma to his right leg. A less worrying case, but one that requires caution, considering that Pedro Nuno is coming from a long process of recovery from an injury.
