Porto, Portugal (My Sportsbook) - UEFA Champions League holders FC Porto will not have Greek international defender Giourkas Seitaridis available Wednesday for a Group H encounter against Chelsea. Seitaridis failed to recover in time from a thigh injury and was not on coach Victor Fernandez' available roster for the match. Fellow defender Nuno Valente is also expected to miss the vital game due to injury. Porto, which finished in a scoreless draw with CSKA Moscow in its Champions League opener two weeks back, will be facing former coach Jose Mourinho for the first time since his departure. Mourinho left following SuperLiga and Champions League triumphs last season, making the move to the English powerhouse almost immediately at the conclusion of last year's campaign. The matchup at Stamford Bridge also pits Chelsea defenders Ricardo Carvalho and Paulo Ferreira against their former team. |
