Porto team news by WhoScored:

  • Chancel Mbemba is suspended after his red card in Madrid two weeks’ ago and with Pepe a doubt, Ivan Mercano may partner Fabio Cardoso at the heart of the defence.
  • Agustin Marchesin is close to a return to fitness, but Sergio Conceicao is expected to keep faith with Diogo Costa after his penalty stop at Gil Vicente on Friday.
  • Marko Grujic is available and should start against his former club here.

Anyone watched the Atletico vs. Porto game, how did Porto do?

I trust Jürgen and his team will know the personnel, formation and tactics to see us through this match.

Looks like Neco and Naby are both training with the team, who knows how much, but they’re in this opening/warm up part of the session which open for media.

By the way, it looks like we’re starting to “hide” half of our opening part of the training session which is open for media. So far in last years, it was 10-15 minutes of warming up coupled with some passing drills. Now, I’ve noticed that they’ve fenced the pitch where the main part of training takes place, so the coverage ends with with warm ups.

I presume for Keïta at least he’s fine now, since his absence was only because of pain.

I’ve felt “mean” all weekend after criticising Trent in the ‘Pre/In match’ thread. I don’t normally have a go at our players and after watching replays of the Brentford goals I realise that he was being targeted 3 on 1 and should have been helped out.

I’ll stay away from the keyboard and concentrate on the footy in future.

I’ll miss this one, as I did all three bar the first half against Milan when in Croatia.

Suppose if we win this comfortably that’s me watching the rest of the season via Match Centre

Oh he is only on at half nine and I live ten minutes away so I’ll watch the first half I think.
