# FC Porto: Latest Injury Update on Alex Telles – News on His Injury
FC Porto has provided an update on the injury status of their star left-back, Alex Telles, who has been sidelined for several weeks due to a muscle injury. The Brazilian defender, known for his attacking prowess and set-piece expertise, has been a key player for the Dragons since joining the club in 2016. His absence has been deeply felt, especially as Porto continues to battle for glory in both domestic and European competitions.
According to the latest reports, Telles suffered a grade 2 muscle strain in his thigh during a training session earlier this month. Initial scans revealed that the injury was not as severe as initially feared, but it still requires a cautious approach to avoid further complications. The medical team at FC Porto has confirmed that Telles is undergoing intensive rehabilitation and physiotherapy to accelerate his recovery.
While no official return date has been announced, sources close to the club suggest that Telles could be back in action within the next 4-6 weeks, depending on his progress. This timeline would see him potentially return to the squad in time for the crucial stages of the Primeira Liga and the Champions League.
In the meantime, Porto manager Sérgio Conceição has had to rely on other options to fill the void left by Telles. Players like Iván Marcano and Wendell have stepped up to cover the left-back position, but the team has undoubtedly missed Telles’ offensive contributions and defensive reliability.
Telles himself has taken to social media to express his frustration at being sidelined but has also vowed to work tirelessly to regain full fitness. “This is a tough moment, but I’m focused on my recovery. I’ll come back stronger,” he wrote in a recent Instagram post.
Fans of FC Porto will be eagerly awaiting Telles’ return, as his presence on the pitch is crucial to the team’s aspirations this season. For now, they can only hope that his rehabilitation goes smoothly and that he can rejoin his teammates soon. The club will continue to monitor his progress and provide updates as more information becomes available.
