Pepe is a noticeable presence in FC Porto’s training this morning, at Olival. The Portuguese international centre-back was sutured with 11 stitches in the first leg against Lyon, due to a blow to the forehead that hit his brow, after a violent clash with Lucas Paquetá, but he returns to the pitch in time to be an option for the second match hand tomorrow in France.
Otávio, suspended, is guaranteed down, as is the injured Manafá. At the start of training, goalkeeper Marchesín received congratulations from his teammates – he turns 34 today –, to whom he addressed a few words before passing through the usual tunnel for the birthdays.
From 12 noon, Sérgio Conceição speaks to journalists. The Porto delegation travels to Lyon in the middle of the afternoon.
