The training ground at Moreirense will miss Lawrence Ofori for longer than anyone first thought. His absence will certainly be felt. The midfielder suffered an adductor tear during the Gil Vicente game. That match was the only one where Moreirense failed to secure three points, ending in a 2-0 loss. This injury will now keep him out for at least three more weeks.
This extended break pushes Lawrence Ofori’s return further down the calendar. Moreirense coach Vasco Botelho da Costa will not have him available until late October. The target for Ofori’s comeback is the clash against FC Porto. This important game will take place after the league’s next scheduled pause.
Adding to the team’s immediate challenges, Moreirense also faces the upcoming match against Sporting without Travassos. The young player is on loan from Sporting. This means he cannot play against his parent club, creating another hole in the squad for the next big game.
