UCL: Sanusi may miss Porto’s match against Barcelona due to injury

Zaidu Sanusi, the Nigerian defender, is a serious doubt for Porto’s matchup against La Liga powerhouse Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League.

On Tuesday night (today), the Dragons will play Xavi’s team at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.

Despite missing Porto’s Cup match against Montalegre over the weekend, Sanusi was included in the team’s 24-man roster for the match.

The left-back spent part of Monday night’s practise alongside his teammates.

According to A Bola, Porto manager Sergio Conceicao said, “I don’t know if Zaidu and Pepe are ready for 9 minutes or 90 minutes, because they did their first training session with the team today (Monday), they did the first part of the training.”

“I will make the decision; if one of them is unable to contribute, every hour that goes by is significant.”

Sanusi has participated in two matches for Porto thus far this season.
