Amar Dedic's injury remains a major headache for Benfica | OneFootball

Amar Dedic continues to be a concern for Benfica's medical department. In the match against Rio Ave, which ended in a one-all draw, the right-back played with a protective guard on his right leg to prevent a relapse of the injury he suffered to his right knee during the international break.

At a time when he was one of the standout players for Benfica, and while on international duty, Amar Dedic suffered a traumatic sprain in his right knee with capsular stretching. Initially, the recovery time was expected to be longer, but the player only ended up missing the match against Santa Clara.

Despite this protection on his leg, Amar Dedic is available for Benfica's upcoming matches. These types of measures are only preventive to try to avoid relapses during a period of high competitive density for the Club da Luz, with important clashes against Chelsea and Porto.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, Amar Dedic – valued at 12 million euros – has played 11 matches: five in the Champions League, five in the Liga Portugal Betclic and one in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. In the 934 minutes he played, the full-back scored one goal (Alverca) and made one assist (Tondela).

After the one-all draw in the Benfica – Rio Ave match, the team managed by José Mourinho will take to the field again next Friday, at 8:15 PM, at Estádio da Luz, hosting Gil Vicente managed by César Peixoto. The match is part of the seventh round of the Liga Portugal Betclic and the eagles are only thinking about victory.
