Vincent Aboubakar set for Porto return after lengthy layoff

Vincent Aboubakar is in line to play his first competitive game since last September when Porto take on Portimonense on Saturday.

The 27-year-old is among the 24 players called by Sergio Conceicao to persecute the game at Estadio Municipal de Portimao as they aim to build on their five-game unbeaten streak in the Primeira Liga.

Back in September, Aboubakar ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee during a league match against Tondela and was forced to go under the knife.

After spending six and a half months on the sidelines, the 27-year-old is now back to strengthen Porto's push to for 29th league title as they are currently tied on points with leaders Benfica.
