Porto head coach Sergio Conceicao is set to leave decisions regarding the fitness of forward Evanilson, midfielders Otavio and Mateus Uribe, and winger Galeno until right before this evening’s Champions League round of sixteen first leg against Inter.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, who report that the Portuguese coach has taken all four with him to the San Siro as part of the squad, so that he can hope to potentially call upon them despite injury problems.
Heading into this evening’s match, Porto have been dealing with something of an injury crisis which could be a major worry for them.
Evanilson, Otavio, Uribe, and Galeno are the main players who have been the focus of speculation, and in all four cases, there is no doubt that their fitness would not be at its best.
However, Porto coach Conceicao has decided to call up all four, and he will wait until the very last minute to make a decision one way or another.
