http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 star Hulk to miss the match against UD Leiria – Portuguese Primeira Liga News
FC Porto star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ghana-c2905 at Craven Cottage, London, on September 5.
Hulk, 25, is now the main leader and source of inspiration for the Portistas after the departure of Colombian goal-machine, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276, to Atletico Madrid.
Falcao netted an incredible 38 goals last season and propelled his side to a quadruple. However, he has parted ways with Porto and has travelled to greener pastures in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011. In his absence, Hulk is expected to be the most potent attacking weapon for the
Dragao and he has lived to his billing.
Slotting home the only goal of the game with a penalty in a closely contested match against Vitoria Guimarães, the Selecao International bettered that by bagging a brace next week and is currently firing on all cylinders.
However, it is likely that FC Porto will be without their main man, as he has been called by Mano Menezes to the Brazil national team for a friendly against Ghana on September 5.
Hulk has already undergone the agony of being axed from the Canaries squad on previous occasions, the most notable being his exclusion from the Copa America right after a campaign in which he had been in scintillating form and had found the back of the net
36 times.
With a lack of game time at International level, the front man does not boast a large number of caps unlike other top-class European players and he will be keen to don Brazil colours despite the fact that his club now heavily rely on him to get through difficult
games.
FC Porto will now probably play without Hulk and will have to conjure up all their resources to ensure a win against UD Leiria, making it essential that talents like Fredy Guarin, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rolando-c31583 step up the plate and perform to the best of their
abilities.
