Benfica on alert as new details emerge on Enzo Barrenechea’s fitness | OneFootball

Enzo Barrenechea has been cleared to return to action, but not all the news is positive for José Mourinho’s staff.

He came on in the closing stages to help protect the result. Benfica won 4-2, which sealed progress to the next phase of the Champions League.

According to A Bola, the number five still feels shoulder discomfort from an injury sustained late last year, which kept him out for much of this month.

He wore shoulder protection on his return, indicating he is not yet fully recovered, a detail that will cause some concern.

This season for Benfica, Barrenechea, valued at 15 million euros, has made 32 competitive appearances, 16 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 12 in the Champions League, two in the Taça de Portugal, one in the Taça da Liga and one in the Supertaça. Across 2,448 minutes he has one goal and one assist.
