Porto Striker Majeed Waris To Profit From Soares Injury

Striker Majeed Waris could profit from Soares dos Santos's injury at FC Porto for more game time.

The Ghana striker replaced the Brazilian, who scored in the 5-1 win at Portimonense, in the 71st minute last Sunday.

"Soares underwent a medical examination that confirmed a lesion in the left thigh, contracted in the game with the Algarve," a club statement revealed.

This means Waris will be like-for-like replacement ahead of Friday night's big clash against Sporting Lisbon.

Waris, who moved during the January transfer window from Ligue 2 side Lorient, has made four Portuguese Liga appearances.
