Benfica racing to get key player fit for Vitória de Guimarães clash | OneFootball

Amar Dedic was handed a two-match suspension due to the violent behavior he displayed in Arouca. However, ahead of the match against Vitória de Guimarães, Benfica filed an appropriate hierarchical appeal in an attempt to overturn the punishment imposed on the Bosnian player. Find out what this is about.

According to explanations given by the newspaper A Bola, the punishment given to Dedic, as Benfica explains, was decided by only one member of the Disciplinary Council. With the submission of this appeal, the Eagles are requesting that the suspension be reviewed by all members of the Disciplinary Council.

According to the same source, Benfica does not have the right to a hearing with witness testimony; however, they can submit documents, as well as provide comparative examples to support the appeal they have sent, in order to try to overturn the punishment imposed on Amar Dedic.

Based on this appeal, a decision must be made within a maximum period of 10 calendar days, which could mean there will be news about Dedic’s case this Saturday, just hours before the match against Vitória de Guimarães. It should be remembered that the Bosnian is sidelined due to the suspension, and Alexander Bah is expected to be the solution for now.

This season, playing for Benfica, Amar Dedic – valued at 15 million euros – has already played a total of 37 official matches: 18 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 14 in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and one in the Super Cup. In the 3,097 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the Bosnian has recorded one goal and three assists.
