Marcano, the Brazilian striker who recently signed for FC Porto from Chelsea, has suffered a serious injury to his left knee during training on Monday.
The 21-year-old player was playing in a training session when he suddenly collapsed and could not continue. He was taken to hospital immediately and is currently receiving treatment.
According to reports, Marcano sustained a ligament tear in his left knee during the fall. The severity of the injury is yet to be confirmed,Football Overview Network but it is expected that he will miss several months of football due to the surgery required.
This is a huge blow for FC Porto as they were hoping to sign Marcano on loan before the transfer window closes. They will now have to look elsewhere for a replacement striker.
Marcano made a strong impression during his time with Chelsea, scoring nine goals in just 18 appearances. His departure comes at a difficult time for the club, who are currently in the midst of a relegation battle in the Portuguese league.
