Bah misses Benfica - Gil Vicente, but return date is set | OneFootball

Due to a right shoulder injury suffered in the match against Marítimo, Alexander Bah missed the visit to Moreirense and will not be an option today for Benfica’s clash against Gil Vicente, scheduled for 6 pm.

However, the expectation is that the Danish international full-back could return to the team as early as Wednesday, for the clash against Milan, managed by Ruben Amorim, whose side drew 2-2 away to Lazio yesterday - with Diego Moreira standing out.

Given this situation in defense, it is certain that Daniel Banjaqui will remain in Benfica’s starting eleven, while new signing Claudio Echeverri could make his debut in the Eagles shirt. Jaden Umeh is another player unavailable due to a muscle injury.

In the statements made in the build-up to the league match, coach Marco Silva analyzed the Danish international’s physical condition and the progress of his recovery on the pitch. "Bah will not be available. He has been recovering well and I’m happy to already see him on the field doing individual work".

Benfica return to action this Sunday, September 13, against Gil Vicente. The match, counting for the 6th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side coached by Luís Pinto, will be played at 6:00 pm at the Estádio da Luz.
