FC Porto has announced the injury update for their star forward, Omorodion. The Nigerian international has been sidelined due to a knee strain and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
The injury occurred during Porto's recent friendly match against Manchester United. After being assessed by medical staff, it was determined that Omorodion suffered a grade 2 lateral ligament sprain in his right knee.
Porto head coach, José Mourinho, expressed his concern for Omorodion's recovery. "I'm very worried about Omorodion's condition. He's going to need time off and proper treatment to recover from this injury," he said.
Mourinho praised Omorodion's commitment to the club and emphasized the importance of rest in the rehabilitation process. "He's a valuable player for us, and we'll do everything we can to help him get back on track."
In the meantime, Porto have been forced to look elsewhere for attacking options. They have already signed Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus from Real Madrid and are reportedly interested in bringing in another forward from abroad.
Despite the setback, Omorodion remains a key figure in Porto's attack line. His goalscoring ability and versatility make him an invaluable asset to the team, and fans will be hoping for his return as soon as possible.
Stay tuned for updates on Omorodion's progress and the ongoing battle for the title at Porto.
