After Ukraine tragedy, Benfica keep close eye on footballer’s situation | OneFootball

Currently absent from Portugal due to the international break, Georgiy Sudakov has lived through a true nightmare from afar, after Russian forces, during the last night, bombed Kyiv, hitting several residential areas, including the house where the family of Benfica’s new number 10 resides.

According to the newspaper Record, in a publication made this Sunday, the Clube da Luz is aware of the situation and, since yesterday, has been in constant contact with the player – who has been the target of criticism –, in order to provide all types of necessary assistance.

The same source adds that, in addition to the support Benfica is currently giving during this most difficult time in the Ukrainian international’s life, the club is also making every effort to help Sudakov’s family complete their move to Portugal. However, there is one member who will have to wait a bit longer.

As is known, Georgiy Sudakov is about to become a father and, for this reason, his partner, Liza Sudakova, is eight months pregnant and therefore unable to travel by plane. Given this situation, the future mother will only join the footballer after the birth and when she has medical clearance.

In the current season, Georgiy Sudakov – valued at 32 million euros – has played, so far, in 10 matches: five in the Europa League qualifying stage, three in the National Championship, and two in the Conference League preliminary rounds. In the 763 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the midfielder has made two assists.
