Christmas is also a time for overcoming, as Vasco Sousa says. The 22-year-old midfielder, on loan from FC Porto to Moreirense, spent Christmas in the hospital and was accompanied by his girlfriend Joana Guise. Vasco Sousa remains hospitalized since undergoing surgery at CUF Porto Hospital, on December 15th. The operation took place after the player fractured the fibula of his right leg in the defeat against Benfica, in Moreira de Cónegos. «It’s not the Christmas we imagined. Difficult, intense, spent where we least wanted it. But even here, the most important thing was never missing: being by each other's side. Let this be a reminder to never take anything for granted. Value where you are tonight, who you are with and what you have at the table. A Merry Christmas to everyone. A big hug to those who are not where they would like to be tonight, who they would like to be with, and to those who miss an empty seat at the table today. May love arrive, even so», wrote Vasco Sousa's girlfriend in a message shared via the social network Instagram. Remember that FC Porto players dedicated the first goal to Vasco Sousa in the victory over Alverca, last Monday, in a League game. The midfielder stops again practically ten months after, on February 16, 2025, he suffered the same injury at the Estádio do Algarve, against Farense, still playing for FC Porto.
