As reported by the Portuguese club, this team's football player Pedro Emanuel may no longer appear on the field this season. The defender has suffered a recurrence of an Achilles tendon injury and will need another surgery. P. Emanuel has not played due to the same injury since August, when he was injured in pre-season match against Man City.
A repeat operation was necessary due to muscle inflammation at the injury site. The Portuguese club does not make predictions about how long the rehabilitation period will take, but it is believed that P. Emanuel's season may already be over before it even started.
The 31-year-old central defender arrived at Porto from Boavista in 2002 and became a solid member of the main lineup.
However, there are more cheerful news in this Portuguese club. After recovering from a thigh injury, forward Helder Postiga is returning and will be able to help the team in the Champions League match against Chelsea from London.
