A fracture rules Gabriel Lança out for 24 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Porto will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Door shut on Zé Carlos
Porto asked and Gil Vicente said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Santiago Giménez sends Porto past Santa Clara
It finished 1‑0, and it was Santiago Giménez’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Porto.

Porto lose João Felisberto
29 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Santiago Giménez stands above it all
