FC Porto return to training without http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436 – Portuguese Primeira Liga News
FC Porto have resumed their training sessions after the International fixtures, although they are now without their main attacking outlet, Hulk, who was injured in the league clash with Uniao Leiria.
The Portistas re-grouped and took to the training pitch after an almost two-week long absence due to the International matches. However, they are without the inspirational Hulk, who suffered an ankle sprain in the game against Uniao Leiria.
Hulk, 25, returned to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ghana-c2905. Upon his arrival, he was automatically included in Vitor Pereira’s starting eleven for the league match but unfortunately limped off the
field after half-time.
Although tests revealed that the injury was not as serious as originally thought, the former Tokyo Verdy man still did not take part in any football related activities today and will have to undergo further examinations before he can be declared fit to play
by the club doctors.
Speaking to reporters, the attacker lamented that he could still have been of more use in the match if it were not for the untimely injury and also said that he was happy for his teammates, who not only bagged 3 points but returned to the top of the table.
"It was unprecedented, but I managed to come and help my teammates. If not for the injury could have contributed more, but all are to be congratulated for having returned to winning ways and we are again in front of the championship. "
Hulk also expressed his relief that the injury was not very threatening and said he was confident that his side could replicate the feats they achieved last season.
"It is difficult, but nothing is impossible. If the team continues as it has been, always respecting the opponent and make their own football, we can repeat last season, “the Selecao International said.
With their goal-poacher out, it is likely that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 coach Vitor Pereira will give Kleber a chance to shine up-front on his own but it remains to be seen whether that works out for him or not.
