Benfica injury boost, player could start against Milan | OneFootball

Marco Silva received excellent news in Benfica’s final training session before the trip to Italy to face Milan in the opening round of the Europa League. Alexander Bah has returned to training without restrictions and could be an option for the match against the Italian side.

The Danish right-back was in fact one of the main highlights of the 15 minutes of training open to the media, showing that he has fully recovered from the injury to his right shoulder that kept him out of the Eagles’ most recent matches.

Bah was injured in the match against Marítimo, played at the Estádio dos Barreiros on September 5. Since then, Marco Silva has had to turn to other solutions for the right side of the defense. Kaminski came on in that match, while Daniel Banjaqui started against Moreirense and Gil Vicente. His return therefore represents an important boost for the Benfica coach.

Bah is available again just before two highly demanding fixtures, first against Milan and then away at the Estádio do Dragão, where Benfica will face Porto next Sunday. Marco Silva must now decide whether to start Bah immediately against the Italians or opt for a more cautious approach, given how close the clássico is.

The Benfica delegation travels to Milan this Tuesday. Benfica are expected to be at Humberto Delgado Airport at 2:00 p.m., with arrival in Italy scheduled for later. Late in the afternoon, Marco Silva and Alessandro Circati will attend the press conference previewing the clash with Milan.
