Jan Bednarek sustains knee injury as FC Porto clinches Portuguese Super Cup

FC Porto defeated SC Torreense 1‑0 to win the Portuguese Super Cup, but the victory was marred by a knee injury to Polish defender Jan Bednarek. The defender left the field at halftime after a twist to his right knee. Coach Francesco Farioli said the exact severity was still being assessed, describing it as a "knee sprain" and noting the poor condition of the Coimbra pitch, which he and teammate Gustav Froholdt said contributed to several players losing balance.

Portuguese media reported that Bednarek is expected to miss about two weeks of action, and FC Porto has lodged a formal complaint with the Portuguese Football Federation over the pitch quality, even considering legal compensation. Fellow Polish players Jakub Kiwior completed the match, while Oskar Pietuszewski is slated to feature in upcoming league fixtures.
