Casa Pia has a big game coming up this Sunday. They visit FC Porto for the third match of the Betclic League. But a key player, Yassin Oukili, might not be ready to play. This could be a tough blow for the team.
Oukili, a midfielder from the Netherlands, got hurt in their last game. He had to leave the field early in the first half. That match saw João Pereira’s team beat AVS SAD 2-0. Doctors checked Oukili on Thursday. They found he has a muscle problem. This means Casa Pia might need someone new in their midfield.
Finding a replacement for Oukili is now a priority. Rafael Brito is one option. He started the first league game against Sporting. Seba Pérez is another player who could step in. He made his first appearance for Casa Pia against AVS SAD. Both players are strong choices to fill the spot.
Sadly, Oukili is not the only player out for Casa Pia. Goalkeeper Ricardo Batista will definitely miss the trip to the Dragon stadium. Forwards Kelian Nsona and Clau Mendes are also sidelined. All three are recovering from injuries. This growing list of absences makes an already tough match even harder for Casa Pia.
