Benfica defender trips up Portugal, but leaves José Mourinho smiling | OneFootball

Amar Dedic will not take part in Bosnia's last match in the European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. The Benfica full-back started in the match against Romania, which ended with his country winning 3-1.

However, despite Bosnia's victory, there was bad news: Amar Dedic received his second yellow card in this qualification campaign, which means he is now suspended from participating in his national team's next match, which will also be the final game of the group stage in the World Cup qualifiers.

Dedic had already received a yellow card in June, against San Marino, and picked up another against Romania. In the qualification phase, two yellow cards are enough to suspend a player for one match, so the Bosnian will not be able to help his team in the match against Austria, which is decisive for Bosnia's ambitions, although they have already secured a place in the play-offs.

If the news is bad for Dedic and the Bosnia national team, it's good for José Mourinho and the fans of Benfica. First, because the full-back is returning from injury. Second, because the Eagles have already seen Pavlidis and Sudakov get injured during this FIFA international break.

to recover and start preparing for the upcoming matches under José Mourinho's management, or, on the other hand, if he will rejoin the Bosnia national team, given the crucial importance of the moment the team is experiencing, with the possibility of direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
