Amar Dedić gives short-term future update at Benfica: I feel good, but… | OneFootball

Amar Dedić guarantees he is 100% fit and ready for the challenges of the coming weeks. While on duty with the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team, the 23-year-old Benfica right-back addressed his recent injury and said he believes in his country's qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

"I feel very good. I had a minor injury that kept me out for two weeks, but I’m back and ready for these two matches, just like the rest of the team," Amar Dedić began by saying at the press conference previewing the clash against Romania (November 15, 7:45 p.m.).

"These matches are the most important for us. We are ready and can’t wait to get on the pitch. Our goal is to qualify for the World Cup," said Amar Dedić – who has recently made headlines for all the right reasons in his country – showing confidence in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s presence at the world’s biggest football event, which will take place in the summer of 2026.

It should be recalled that, in the match against Newcastle, on the third matchday of the Champions League, Amar Dedić left the field injured. The Benfica full-back missed the matches against Arouca (5-0, ninth round of Liga Portugal Betclic), Tondela (3-0, League Cup quarter-finals), and Vitória de Guimarães (10th round of Liga Portugal Betclic), returning against Bayer Leverkusen (1-0, fourth round of the Champions League).

This season, wearing the Benfica shirt, Amar Dedić – valued at 13 million euros – has played 18 matches: eight in Liga Portugal Betclic, eight in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. In the 1,468 minutes he has played, the full-back has scored one goal (against Alverca) and provided one assist (against Tondela).
