FC Porto have recalled midfielder Rabiola from a loan spell at Vitória SC as they plan for a UEFA Champions League first knockout round tie against FC Schalke 04.
Porto call
The 18-year-old officially left the Guimaraes side to sign for Porto at the end of last season but was allowed to stay at Vitória to continue his development. He has scored one goal in four Portuguese Liga games this term, prompting Porto to take him to the Estádio do Dragão. Rabiola attended his first training session with the club today. Porto meet Schalke in Gelsenkirchen on 19 February before hosting the return leg on 5 March.
