Rodrigo Zalazar is back in training and is likely to be on the bench. Fran Navarro is ineligible to face his parent team, while Roger Fernandes, Vitor Carvalho and Sikou Niakaté are nursing injuries. Robson Bambu picked up a shoulder injury last week and is a major doubt.

Porto, meanwhile, have won two of their last seven games across competitions, losing one. They are unbeaten in three Primeira Liga away games, winning two and kept two clean sheets.
