Star man fit again, available for Benfica v Bayer Leverkusen | OneFootball

José Mourinho will be able to count on Amar Dedic for Benfica vs. Bayer Leverkusen. The Bosnian had not been an option for the past three matches but managed to recover in time to be included in the Special One’s plans for the fourth round of the Champions League.

According to information reported by the newspaper Record, the right-back has recovered from the injury that plagued him recently and will be a “trump card” for José Mourinho on the flank, unless any last-minute complications arise for the number 17.

Amar Dedic has not been available for Mourinho since Benfica’s visit to Newcastle, having been substituted with complaints at the 63rd minute. Since then, he has been left out of the squad for the matches against Arouca, Tondela, and Vitória de Guimarães.

This season, wearing the Benfica shirt, Amar Dedic – valued at 13 million euros – has played in 16 matches. In the 1,357 minutes he has been on the pitch, the Bosnian full-back has scored one goal (against Alverca) and provided one assist (against Tondela).

The Eagles now turn their attention to the Champions League, where they will face Bayer Leverkusen. The match, which will be played at Estádio da Luz, is scheduled for next Wednesday, November 5th, with kickoff set for 20:00 and the refereeing team has already been announced.
