Nigerian defender Zaidu Sanusi has been included in FC Porto's squad for the inaugural edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, BenriNews reports.
Sanusi, 27, barely featured for the Dragons last season following a cruciate ligament injury that sidelined him for approximately eight months. Despite his limited playing time, the Portuguese club has shown faith in the left-back by including him in their tournament squad.
The defender has been tipped to leave Porto this summer in search of more regular playing time, with two years remaining on his current contract. The Club World Cup presents a valuable opportunity for Sanusi to showcase his abilities to potential suitors.
Tournament Details
The tournament will be hosted by the United States of America, with FC Porto facing a challenging group stage. The former Portuguese champions will compete against Lionel Messi's Inter Miami, Brazil's Palmeiras, and Egypt's Al Hilal in their group matches.
This inaugural FIFA Club World Cup represents a significant opportunity for both Sanusi and FC Porto on the global stage, as they prepare to face elite competition from around the world.
