Attention, Benfica! Bruma return date now set | OneFootball

The last time Bruma was seen by Benfica fans was in the first leg of the Champions League play-off for a place in the round of 16, against Real Madrid. The player did not come on, but he was on the bench. Since then, he has not appeared on one of José Mourinho’s team sheets again - who has received fresh news.

Before the away trip to Gil Vicente, the coach revealed that the 31-year-old winger was injured, but without disclosing the physical issue. However, it is now known what the player’s injury is and how long he is expected to be out.

According to Record, the number 7 suffered an adductor tear, and that is why he has been out of the spotlight for around two months. The Portugal international has been doing recovery work in the gym, but the same source says that, at this stage, he is already back on the pitch doing running drills and some exercises.

At this point, Bruma is already in the final stage of his recovery, and there is hope that he could return when the Eagles resume competition. In the clash with Casa Pia or in the match against Nacional, it is possible that the Special One may already be able to call on the winger.

This season, wearing the Benfica shirt, Bruma — valued at €5 million — has been picking up his first minutes, albeit limited ones, since returning from injury in the match against Tondela in February. However, the player is now facing a new setback, but he can hardly wait to become a regular option for the team again.
