Amar Dedic could still bring good news before Benfica v Qarabag | OneFootball

Amar Dedic is in doubt for Benfica - Qarabag, and his participation in the Champions League match is not ruled out by Bruno Lage. The eagles make their debut in the 2025/26 edition of the millionaire competition next Tuesday, September 16, and the Bosnian is the only one who can still recover in time for the match.

The information is advanced by the newspaper A Bola. Amar Dedic was present at the training session of Benfica this Monday, September 15, as could be observed by journalists in the 15 minutes when the Club da Luz's work was open to the media.

According to the national press, Amar Dedic will undergo, on the day of the match, the final test to see if he is ready to step on the pitch, or not, against Qarabag. For Bruno Lage, it would be an important 'reinforcement', as the Portuguese coach will have to resort to an adaptation, or launch Leandro Santos, the only natural right-back he has at his disposal in the red squad.

Remember that Amar Dedic suffered a sprain in his right knee while playing for the Bosnia national team, and has been recovering since then. The right-back of Benfica has already missed the eagles' match against Santa Clara, and is now racing to return against Qarabag.

Benfica hosts Qarabag next Tuesday, September 16, at 20:00, at Estádio da Luz. The match is for the first round of the Champions League. Besides the team from Azerbaijan, Bruno Lage's team will face Chelsea (away), Newcastle (away), Bayer Leverkusen (home), Ajax (away), Napoli (home), Juventus (away) and Real Madrid (home).
