有望在淘汰赛开始前复出

Maniche absence pains Porto
Sunday, 19 December 2004
FC Porto playmaker Maniche will be out of action for up to six weeks after
undergoing an operation on a hernia.

Fitness struggle
The Portugal midfield player has been carrying the injury for some time but
after scoring the only goal of the game as Porto defeated Moreirense FC on
Friday, the club's doctors decided that he should have the operation. He has
been struggling with fitness this term after playing a huge amount of
football in the past two seasons, leading Porto to UEFA CUP and UEFA
Champions League success, and starring as Portugal reached the final of UEFA
EURO 2004?.

Inter fixture
Portuguese SuperLiga leaders Porto have only one game remaining - against CS
Marítimo on Wednesday - before the SuperLiga enters its 18-day winter break.
Maniche could, therefore, miss only a handful of matches and is expected to
recover for the first leg of Porto's Champions League tie against FC
Internazionale Milano on 23 February.
