FC Porto don get one big bad news before di match against Rio Ave. Martim Fernandes, di young right-back, no go fit play because hin leg don wound.
Na muscle injury wey im get for hin left thigh. Di problem show up for Friday training, but dem re-evaluate am today. After di check, di medical team and di coach decide say e no go make di trip to Vila do Conde. So di player go miss di game.
Wetin dis mean for di team? Nehuén Pérez go take over di right side of defense. Di Argentine central defender don already play for that position before, for di last minutes of di match against Alverca for di season opening day. E know di role, even though na central defender be im main position.
Alberto Costa, di other natural right-back for di squad, dey for di bench. But e don dey work under condition through di whole week, so Coach Farioli prefer to use di Argentine instead. E say make im use di one wey get proper fitness, and no want take risk with Costa.
Dis na last-minute change for di team wey go face Rio Ave for Vila do Conde. E no be say dem expect am, but na so football be. Di coach don make hin choice, and e go announce di starting line-up when match time reach.
