For several hours, Arsenal fans have been wondering about the possible reappearance of Vieira within their team. This iconic name of course evokes lasting memories for the Gunners. But this time it is another Vieira, Fabio, Portuguese midfielder currently on loan to FC Porto.
Recruited by Arsenal in 2022 for 40 million euros, Fabio Vieira had a complicated start at the Emirates. To regain playing time and revive his career, he was loaned to Porto this summer. However, a recent absence from the match against Boavista has reignited rumors of an early return to London.
Porto reassures about Vieira’s future
Asked about this situation, Porto coach Vítor Bruno clarified things. According to him, Fabio Vieira was dismissed for disciplinary reasons and not because of a possible departure. “Fabio is extremely talented, but this talent must be supported by solid foundations. When some of these foundations collapse, it complicates everything,” he explained.
Bruno also claimed that Vieira would stay at Porto until the end of the season, despite speculation: “Of course he will stay. Fabio knows that we are counting on him. »
A premature return to be ruled out?
For now, Fabio Vieira must regain the trust of his coach. His sidelining, although temporary, raised questions. However, the Porto coach reiterated his intention to reinstate him quickly.
So, if Vieira’s return to Arsenal in January seems improbable, Fabio remains ambitious to prove that he can still establish himself at the Gunners after his loan.
