The experienced 35-year-old Dutchman picked up the injury in a behind-closed-doors game against Lusitania de Lourosa on September 8th, after three official games and one goal for the Dragons, since he was surprisingly presented in the presentation match against Atlético de Madrid.
Almost two months after suffering a sprain with injury to the inner lateral ligament of his left knee, Luuk de Jong returned to training with the ball this Friday, but should only be available for Farioli after the international break, when Porto meet Sintrense in the Portuguese Cup on November 22 - depending on his physical progress.
Until then, he will miss the home game against SC Braga and the away games at FC Utrecht, for the Europa League, on Thursday, and Famalicão, on Sunday, November 9.
