The Selecao International suffered an injury in the game against Rio Ave but his agent claims that the problem is not that serious and that his client should be back on the field soon enough.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 striker Hulk has become one of the most coveted players in European football following some explosive performances over the last few years. Playing on the left-side, the Brazilian has consistently found the back of the net, alongside putting in
crucial assists for his teammates.
Scoring 67 times in 150 appearances and credited with 50 assists, his reputation has alerted a plethora of clubs on the continent. From Anzhi Makhachkala to Paris Saint-Germain, his services have been in high demand this season.
Although with the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 to Atletico Madrid in the summer, Porto are not the same force as they once were, the 25-year-old has taken up the responsibilities and has stepped up in the Colombian’s absence.
A crucial member of Vitor Pereira’s plans, the Portistas are not nearly decisive enough in attack, if Hulk isn’t playing. So it was hardly a surprise when he was named in the starting eleven against Rio Ave.
In the Primeira Liga tie, the Brazilian International wasn’t able to influence proceedings like his usual self and had to be taken off with 32 minutes remaining after suffering an injury.
Although Porto were able to beat the visitors 2-0, their star man will miss the next game as he recovers from his strained left-thigh.
However the player’s agent has commented on the situation and said that his client should be back to the pitch in no time, as the problem is not that serious.
“This is the first stretch of his career, but he will not have any recovery problems. He will only be out for a few coming days but he should be able to perform his duties after that,” Teodoro http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fonseca-c13888 was quoted as saying.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitor-c36281 Pereira will have to suffice with the services of Kleber up-front, who has been far from convincing this campaign.
