Aghehowa suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in February, bringing an impressive run of form to an abrupt end and forcing him into more than seven months of rehabilitation.
Porto manager Francesco Farioli praised the specialists who worked tirelessly with the striker throughout his recovery.
Farioli highlighted the daily efforts required to strengthen Aghehowa’s knee and prepare him for the demands of top-flight football.
Despite his absence, Porto have won all seven of their league matches and currently sit top of the Primeira Liga table.
