FC Porto has welcomed back striker Luuk de Jong to training after a two-month injury layoff. The 34-year-old Dutch forward had been sidelined since September 8, when he picked up the injury during a behind-closed-doors friendly against Lusitania de Lourosa.

De Jong's return is a significant boost for Porto, who have been looking for consistency in attack. The experienced striker had only managed to play three official games for the Dragons before his injury, scoring one goal. His return will likely provide a much-needed lift to Porto's attacking options.

Luuk de Jong has resumed training with FC Porto after a two-month absence due to a knee injury. The Dutch striker was spotted doing conditioned ball training on Friday, and his progress is being closely monitored by the coaching staff.

De Jong's return to action is expected to be gradual, with coach Farioli likely to hold him back until the international break. Porto's match against Sintrense in the Portuguese Cup on November 22 is seen as a potential milestone for his comeback, subject to his physical progress.

In the meantime, De Jong will miss crucial matches for Porto, including the upcoming home game against SC Braga and the Europa League away fixture at FC Utrecht on Thursday. He will also be unavailable for the match against Famalicão on Sunday, November 9.
