FC Porto Announces Marco Antunes' Injury Update - Out for Two Weeks
Marco Antunes, the Portuguese footballer who plays as a defender for FC Porto, has been injured and will be out for two weeks.
The news was announced by the club on their official website on Wednesday morning. The update came after Antunes had to leave training early due to a minor injury during practice. The injury is not serious, but it will prevent him from participating in the team's upcoming matches against Benfica and Getafe.
Antunes, who joined FC Porto in January, has made several appearances this season,Chinese Super League Home Ground including one goal. He is known for his defensive skills and has played a crucial role in the team's success so far this season.
The injury update comes at a critical time for FC Porto, who are currently sitting second in the Primeira Liga table with just three games left before the end of the season. The team will need all its players available if they want to secure a top-four finish and potentially qualify for next season's Europa League.
Antunes' absence could also affect the team's chances of reaching the Champions League play-offs. The Portuguese side have already qualified for the group stage of the competition, but they may face a tough challenge in getting through the first round.
Despite the setback, FC Porto fans remain hopeful that Antunes will make a full recovery and return to action soon. The team will continue to rely on their other defenders such as Miguel Almiron and João Félix, while also looking for ways to strengthen their squad ahead of the final stretch of the season.
