Vincent Aboubakar is yet to make his return from injury for Porto after missing last night’s 3-1 win away to Estoril in a Primeira Liga clash.

The match was originally played on January 15 but suspended in 45th minute at 1-0 to the hosts due to safety reasons.

Aboubakar, who has missed Porto’s last five matches (including their 5-0 loss to Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League), will hope to return as soon as possible.

His next chance arrives on Sunday night, when Porto travel away to Portimonense for their round 24 league clash.

The team in blue and white enjoy a five-point lead over rivals Benfica at the top of the standings.

In Aboubakar’s absence, Brazilian attacker Tiquinho has stepped up to the plate, scoring four goals in Porto’s last two matches.
